I’m intact so far.
The OAT is 27 at the wall of my house. About five degrees lower as you move away.
You baws good?

All good. Pier and beam house. I run water through my pipes every few hours instead of dripping. Got up at 4:00 am to run water through my lines. Will do so occasionally during the day since temp will remain below freezing. All good.

Imagine how simple it is to avoid a frozen pipe yet ton of people going to get them anyway

Safe and sound fortunately. Normal water pressure too which is awesome

I didn't listen and admit my dumbassery. Didn't drip hot, so we have cold, but not hot water.

Pier & Beam house. Dripped pipes all night. North facing spigot trickled back down copper pipe and froze/ice cycled the outside of the pipe. I redirected the water with a hose. Some of the pipe is exposed but have since wrapped the best I could. Worry level is moderate, dripping everything for time being. Water is freezing almost instantly.

Whoever the plumber was when my house was built is a moron.. They set up the hot water pipes to go to the bathrooms direct and the HW pipes that go to the kitchen sink last.. So it takes the tub about 15 seconds to get hot and the kitchen sink about 2 minutes.. What sense is that? I know first world problems... So far no pipe problems in Metairie..

One line in the house frozen. Cold water line in the kitchen sink. Pier and beam.
It was dripping over night (as was hot water). Cold seized, hot kept chugging.
This same line froze and busted in the big freeze 2 years ago. Plumber said he replaced it with pipe that wouldn’t bust again, so here’s hoping.

You won’t know if you have busted pipes until they defrost

Double wide with Brick skirt.
Turned a vent to blow underneath. Blocked off cast iron vents with a cardboard insert.
Could probably sleep under there. My cold water runs warm at first.

All plumbing in my home is in conditioned space. Turned off the shutoff to the two outdoor spigots and drained them yesterday. Only concern is the main from the well. Left a heating bulb on in the well house and periodically running water so it doesn’t freeze up from well house to home.
So far so good.

No problems.
Some water lines run through an attached, but not climate controlled, utility room. I put a small heater in the room. Outside faucets heavily wrapped. The well also services some livestock water troughs, but we cut that water off.
House has some pier and beam but is mostly slab.

All good. Got down to 7 overnight but houses here are built accordingly and I insulated my outdoor sink well.

Was 14 here in NW Houston before sunup. Only 20 now so got a ways to go to thaw out and find any damage. May not thaw out today.

I have a frozen line to my toilet in the master. I have a soffit vent that runs the length of my house and I think there is a 90 on the exterior wall that is completely exposed in the attic. Going to have to do some exploring to get to it.

G2G so far here in West Central Georgia.
Now just have to worry about a tree that is literally coming out of the ground that is in my neighbors yard but leaning towards our house.
