How cold was it?

I think it might've gotten down to the upper 20's (that's like -2 or -3º C)

The only solution is to insulate and seal the house. I do not know if you own the house or rent though. Even the old trick of putting plastic on the windows of an old house is cost effective as it insulates the windows and stops the drafts all in one operation. You would be surprised on where the cold come in in those old houses.

Is been cold enough where I live to have frozen pipes too. They have frozen the last two night, and possibly tonight too. I can't leave them drip because the faucet and handle both leak. They need replaced, but right now my money is funny. Lucky for me, that the pipes thawed out by the afternoon. Its been getting down around zero here in Northern Ohio. I keep telling myself, we are one day closer to spring.

I don't know about Canada, but here in Chicago was very cold two days ago. Today is getting little warmer. I never think about water running to avoid pipe damage.... How cold it is now in Canada?

i am in canada and we are struggling through a cold snap. last night was pretty cold but the night before's temperature was so low that the city issued a cold weather alert. this means that all homeless people on the street are encouraged to go to a homeless shelter and there are extra measures for them.

IT was VERY cold last night. -28 C here. Just really, really cold. Our water pipes froze the night before though, but not last night, which I find strange.

It was 6 degrees here in NE Ohio. They said with the wind chill it was quite a few degrees below zero. I worried about frozen pipes too. In the kitchen I left the doors open under the sink so heat would migrate in there, and did the same in the bathroom where the pipes are under the sink, (as well as the cabinet that's on the end by the tub faucet.) I've been doing that for years now, and it really does seem to make a difference. Because our fuel oil is so expensive, we keep the house at 55 at night, so just that little heat trickle does seem to help a lot. The only water area I can't get heat to is the one back room that has the washer in it. Knock wood...I haven't had froze pipes in quite a few years. What I do in there is to pour about a fourth cup of salt down where the water drains out from the washer, and then the next morning I turn on the dryer with a load of damp clothes before even trying to turn the washer on. It's 8 out right now, so I'm following the same plan lol.

Hi Bar well it was cold enough for for Gissi to get under my Covers and share the Hot Water Bottle lol But no frozen Pipes thank goodness

Well I am 2 weeks late. HAHAHA! Back then I'd say we were about 15 or so. Not cold for Minnesotans. We have only had about 10 days below zero. The coldest being 21 below zero. I love the cold to a point actually. Today, 2-10-2010, it is near 15 and sunny and feels good. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

It wasn't to cold in UK but still I'd say cold enough for still leaving the cap on we have had snow in the UK over the past few weekes and unfortunately I don't think we have seen the last of it, oh well!!! Lol.

Hi Doll When it's cold put a lamp under the sink with a 40 watt bulb Mske sure it can not tip over The heat will keep it from freezing and works well to unthaw frozen pipes as well. I ahve my huge great dane Daisy to keep my bed warmed up. oxoxoxoxo

Not that cold. Probably in the low 40's, maybe high 30's. Yesterday was a pretty glorious day in the low 60's, but the rain is coming back today.

Hey Barbara! It was the coldest day so far this year here in NY so far! It was in the single digits with a wind chill factor well below zero so we were into the minus numbers! At 7:30AM when I woke up it was 8 degrees with the temperature 4 degrees below zero! My boyfriend went out to do the laundry, but he doesn't seem to let the cold bother him like most people! As for me I was supposed to go out with one of my girlfriends who has a car, but it was so cold that neither one of us even wanted to venture out at all! Those kinds of temps are just to dangerous to even go out for a minute with any exposed skin! Hopefully tomorrow it will hit at least 20 degress! Heat wave?

Last night, the weather dropped to sub-zero degrees It was really freezing, so I left the central heating on all night I must say, this is certainly one of coldest winters I can remember in a very long time

I really don't know how cold it got last night but know it was cold plus we have 7 inches of snow which is alot for us. My son is 28 & he had never seen this much. It's suppose to get down to 5 degrees tonight so i heard.Sorry about your pipes. I hate when that happens. Hope they will thaw out on their own & u don't have to have a plumbing bill, i hate that to. stay warm.

Wow that sounds cold! I live in Australia and it is summer here so I am not exactly feeling cold! It does get chilly here in the winter but it has never been below zero since I’ve been living here. It gets down to 1 or 2 on the coldest days. We don’t get snow or pipes freezing. I guess I am lucky our country is not an extremely cold one because I am a person who really suffers when it’s freezing. The one I miss is snow, it never snowws here because we are on the coast and our Christmases are snow free and HOT!

in this country snow is never gonna because my country has a tropical climate , but i do love a snow playing with snow is what i wanted.

oh, no my home is very warm. so my pets sleeps very well.

here it's very very cold
