Exactly. Same. Drip those faucets. And hope the grid holds.I’m in the south where thankfully it’s just a dry hard freeze. Really just a matter of whether the power stays on, and/or pipes freeze and pop. We don’t exactly winterize houses down here.

Sounds like something someone from Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo would say.... in true "downstater" fashion.
Just grateful I am not flying somewhere this weekend. I can't imagine the hell that would be.
4 F in Nashville just seems nuts!!
Be safe everyone.

When I was a wee lad and visiting my grandparents in upstate NY (like REAL upstate, not ‘above NYC’) we’d go to Massena to see the locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The snow in that area of NY would literally fall up to 10feet deep back then. My grandparents had these huge ditches along the front portion of their property, once the snow would fall my dad showed me how they used to dig a tunnel, hollow out a cave in the ditch, start a fire inside of it and turn it into an ice cave. You could stand up all the way in them with plenty of snow overhead.
Hahahah, there was one year we were up there for a funeral, it started snowing HARD in the afternoon and dad and I took turns clearing the porch, we passed out thinking we got it good enough so we’d be able to do a quick shoveling in the morning and get out easy, but when we woke up the door was buried, opening it just left a wall of snow in front of it. We had to open the door on the other side of the breezeway and remove the snow that way!

Vegas is 61, scattered showers today. Sunny and 66 on Saturday! Come, enjoy the casinos where the weather is always boring...

When I first came to Canada, the St. Lawrence Seaway blew my mind. I'd never heard of it. Amazing that you can sail a ship all the way down past Montreal, through the great lakes to Chicago; it's incredible.
Chicago! All that way inland! Wow.
