I'd go underground to hibernate but instead I'll be down cellar trying to thaw the kitchen loop, which seems to have gotten a case of frostbite last night.

And I got a call from Burlington that the bishop's house water main has frozen somewhere (I chair the property committee for Rock Point and the Episcopal diocese of VT). Burlington water dept spent all last night trying to thaw it with steam and a welder - no luck so far so the bishop's house has no heat and I'm worried about freezing all the pipes in the house.

Love this weather.

Those damn greedy *******s!

hopefully they get the water thawed and you get yours opened back up. Definitely ain't gonna get warmer any time soon

Success - we have heat in the kitchen. Took a while but it's always the last spot you take the heat gun that turns out to be the spot that's frozen. Murphy and all that...

That's good. Was getting worried that you ended up like the cave men, frozen in a glacier.

Daughter lives in Wellesley and said they didn't get any snow (maybe an inch). But the train was 25 minutes late this AM and she froze her butt off waiting for it!
