FREEZE WARNING!
LET YOUR TAPS DRIP!
A deep freeze is upon us until at least next Saturday. The average temperature is going to be -16 degrees C with a spike on Monday evening of -21 degrees C. A very effective way to keep your water pipes from bursting is to let your faucets drip for the duration of the cold snap. Not so much in the kitchen but certainly in the back washroom and laundry areas. These are the usual areas for frozen pipes and bursts as they are most exposed to the elements. If you have zone valves for your outdoor hose bibs and you haven't closed them off for the winter yet now is the time to do so.
Outside of that...Be sure to have plenty of hot coco and noodle soup on hand. A good book would't hurt either. Have fun!
