    Yep.  My two have had the stryofoam covers on for a couple of weeks at least.  I'm not uncovering them to find out.

    I uncovered one of mine on the north side and it was barely froze.  South side was OK.  You might reconsider.

    This was the culprit.  Many thanks.

    Our power flickered off about every 15 minuted last night.  It always came right back on, but it certainly fucked with some things. 

    If ya' can put some type of non led light source under it, maybe with a light wrap something like a towel, magazine, aluminum foil. anything to keep some heat around it.

    we're all lucky to be married to good women.  I had to go out to Trader Joe's this morning to get a few staples.  Brought my wife a $2 chuck wine and a $2 dark chocolate box and she told me it was unnecessary but for the sentiment, I could go into her lingerie drawer tonight and pick out whatever I wanted her to wear.  Cheapest lay I'll probably ever get in my lifetime.  She told me last week---pandemic, record freezes, we're starting a new business---don't spend any money.  And she actually meant it.  She's always been cool at Valentine's Day, but this was especially pragmatic of her. 

    I feel bad for some men.  If you're married to a cunt on your anniversary, you married a cunt.  If you're married to a cunt on Valentine's Day, her birthday, and Christmas---you're the Cunt.  

    If you marry a woman fucks and can make gravy you'll be a happy man.  If she can't do either, you'll become a philosopher.

    I was raised Catholic, but have not been to Mass in 40+ years.

    The Wednesday night Bingo was good though, as were the Knights of Columbus allowing us underage recruits to drink at their clubhouse bar.

    a good Catholic I see.  It hasn't me 40 years for me but.....

    vTexas Temperature Map - Air Sports Net (usairnet.com)
    quick way to check area temps.  
    Any of you guys think to buy charcoal (for cooking not warming the haus) or camp stove fuel?  If ya' lose power at least you eat some thing warm.  In a pinch taping(several layers) a nickel over both terminals of a 9v battery will warm it up.  I've never done that with a new one, but used "dead" ones with success for hunting/fishing trips for a pocket warmer.
    I'd also recommend that if you decide to try to get out to the local hardware store to pick up insulation add to the basket some items to make temp repairs for when the that comes.  PVC glue, caps, plugs, PEX connectors, cutters things to stop a leak or fix as you find it.
     

    Tell me more about this nickel 9v setup. How long does it last with a new battery? Sounds like it could be a good solution for keeping an outdoor spigot warm if you wrap it in a towel but will it catch on fire?

    Rig one up and carry it around in your pocket for awhile use your best discretion.  They won't last forever, but it may work just long enough. I've never had one catch fire, but there is always a first time.
