If I set it any lower my husband will start rioting:) <br /><br />We had a water pipe frozen several years ago, but since then we insulated them so it shouldn't be a problem, or at least, I hope so. Just heard it can locally sink to -20*C in the North!<br /><br />Luna, we seldom have snow, either! Or in any case, it doesn't stay long.

Are your water pipes insulated enough? If you are worried for them ti get frozen you can keep the faucet dripping through night :-)Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130669456548942894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-25207098409360869042021-02-07T08:10:37.766-08:002021-02-07T08:10:37.766-08:00I actually don't mind cold weather.

We have cold spells every year, but usually short ones. Last time we got that much snow and frost was the winter of 2012-2013, I think.

Sorry to say that your forecast wouldn't raise an eyebrow around here. I wish it did as that would mean we have milder weather than we do. lol<br />I live north of Boston, along the MA and NH border and we got hit with 18 inches of snow last week (about 46cm). IIRC, some places got 3ft of snow! Yikes!<br />The temps have been average here, ranging between the 20sF and 30sF (-5C equals 23F and -10C equals 14F) so it sound like you will be colder than here.<br />10C equals 50F so that sure is a big swing in temps!<br />I hate winter. I've often wished I were a bear so I could hibernate through it. lol Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487739974246714580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-12967522584371608792021-02-06T10:57:55.722-08:002021-02-06T10:57:55.722-08:00Also, yesterday it was +10*C...Also, yesterday it was +10*C...Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-30359846381498220602021-02-06T10:55:07.718-08:002021-02-06T10:55:07.718-08:00Ah yes, Minnesota...but here we aren't accusto...Ah yes, Minnesota...but here we aren't accustomed to this weather any more:) I guess 0F is way below the freezing point?Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-28652804877579308662021-02-06T10:43:56.172-08:002021-02-06T10:43:56.172-08:00Our temp today is 0 F.
