Well, they called school for tomorrow. The road conditions are pretty bad. Temperatures aren't going up high enough to melt the snow and ice, especially on the back roads.
Tried to do laundry yesterday but the pipes to the washer were frozen. Later in the day, after running a small heater next to the washer for 3 or 4 hours, the water started flowing again. However, coming out the sides of the pipes was not what I was hoping for. I pulled the washer out from the wall, turned off the water at the washer, but that did not help. I had to call Jim to come home, turn off the main, then he proceeded to replace the broken pipes. He ended up fixing one of them twice, as the break was all the way down and under the floor. My poor honey. I guess we will be moving those pipes come spring to a warmer spot in the house. We can run water in all the other areas, sinks, showers but not the washing machine. It usually freezes at least once a winter. Hopefully, this will be the one time and we will see no others. Weather today was nice and sunny but the high was a mear 18 degrees. We are really loving our new gas fireplace!! Write more for ya later.... Love to all.... B

Sorry you are faced with this trial. Guess you are not missing the blazing Summer heat of Arizona though....Am I right?
ReplyDeleteWould love to move somewhere where I can enjoy the 4 Seasons not just Warm, Very Warm & Blazing Hot. Colorado keeps beckoning me. Someday. As for now, I will enjoy the 70s we've been having. :)
Missing you!
Correct, I don't miss the blazing hot!! However, 70's sound really, really good!!
