Hey, guys, I really appreciate eveyone's response. Thank you all for your help.
Here's the forecast: 11° tonight and 8° tomorrow night. Today got up to about 23° and ditto tomorrow. I had to thaw the hummingbird feeder four times. On Monday, it might heat up to just over freezing. I turned both space heaters on at 6am this morning and it's only 50° in the trailer right now. And the temp is now dropping outside. Woohoo. And oh, yeah. We got maybe a half inch/inch of snow. Just enough to make it like a skating rink outside.
And for more fun news, I heard the truck salting our curvy road up here slid part way down and wedged sideways on the road. I guess it was a couple of hours before he got himself straightened up and finished the job. Me, I took my trip to town before all this mess started. I'm not going down that hill in this weather. We have hills here that have less slant than a cow's face and I probably still couldn't get up them with this ice.
Water is a no go. My water is hooked up to an outside spigot and I always disconnect the hose at night when the temp is going to go under freezing and then reconnect the next morning. When I disconnect the hose and turn the water off, the water drops back down to the pipe, which is under the frost line.
So I disconnected the hose last night and then reconnected it this morning to get water. I meant to disconnect it again for the day because I knew it wouldn't get above freezing today but I forgot and in an hour, it had frozen solid. My neighbor came over with her hair dryer and we got the top part thawed enough so I could at least get the water turned off. But there's still water in the pipe above the ground that we couldn't thaw, so I don't know what's going to happen with that, although if the pipe was going to bust, it probably would have.
That means I have to walk across the yard to the other spigot to get water which is a chore I'm not thrilled to repeat today. I've already done it once so I could do dishes (why I didn't do them yesterday, I have no idea). So there's no running water in the trailer right now and I only have about 2 gallons in my water container. Enough for tonight.
I'm not sure if I'm going to turn the heat off tonight or not. Honestly, with temps this low it really doesn't matter and I have a sleeping bag and a ton of blankets. If there was room in the fridge, I'd sleep in there. It's probably warmer. So let's face it. It's going to be colder in my trailer tonight than it probably is in my freezer. So I'm nixing the beef roast until Monday.
Then I thought I would clear that freezer out a bit and have Parmesan Alfredo shrimp, but I have no way to wash the shrimp. So I'm throwing in the towel and having Stouffer's Mac and Cheese tonight. At least the power is still on.
How's your winter going?
