I dunno about that! -20 sucks

 

Once you’ve got a second belly button, things pretty much crease to matter is what you’re saying

 

Yep, that's good working weather if its a nice day out.

 

For sure. You don't overheat. The second the damn wind comes up though, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

I feel it in the mornings when I leave work. Huge difference between 15° and -6° for me.

 

Yeah, wind can F right off!

 

10 more years!

 

Perhaps it's my natural insulation that increases my tolerance. You skinny people aren't built for the ice age.

 

We'll be out of town, too. Just hoping I don't come home to burst pipes and 3 days worth of soaked hardwoods.

 

That's sketchy. You have anyone trusted that can come over and turn your faucets on to a slow flow to prevent freezing?

 

You can't deal with crowds, but you'll airdrop every mofo in the room.


I hear you. I don't like the cold much either, but I can feel the difference like I said. I think tolerance may have been the wrong concept, but my brain is still sleepy.

 

Yeah, you don't want that.
How big of a pain would it be to drain your system back to the meter?

 

My son will be out of town, too. I'll be checking cameras for signs, but none are interior. Flooding out the doors will be evidence, but it'll be too late by then. I'll drip faucets, leave cabinets open, and turn a heater on the worst risk. We survived Snowmageddon without a leak, so we're probably going to be fine.

 

That'd be pretty tough. I'll just drip everything.

 

Just an FYI from a guy that lives in those temps, a drip will still freeze if you get cold enough. My place has heat tapes and insulation on the pipes plus a space heater in an insulated box for the pump. Frozen pipes suck.

 

For sure. Aisles are roads. Keep right except to pass. If you are going slow, pull the fuck over.

 

Master shutoff and drain down before you leave an option?

Edit: Nevermind. Saw it was already asked

 

Oof, that was good. My Gif-foo is still developing so I got nothing

 

Shouldn't be freezing more than 24 hrs, and only one faucet isn't a deep-wall type. Still sketchy, but not the worst risk. Good advice is always welcomed, though; thank you.

 

I'd just leave a bit more than a drip is all. Small steady stream. You could turn off the main water valve so if you do burst something you only have to deal with what is already in the system.

 

Houses in CO might be built better for cold than those in TX. Different codes.
