Tonight in NYS supposed to be 0F, and wind

I know the pipes won't get below the actual

temp, but are they more likely to freeze,

with wind?









We went through that just a few days ago on the other thread.



Wind chill below freezing will /not/ freeze the pipes





Just as long as the temp. is above 32F they will be fine

But wind can be a component of making it easier for pipes to
freeze that are in certain locations, like an exterior wall,
a crawl space that has some drafts flowing through it, etc.
The same pipe that might not freeze at 15F on a calm night,
could freeze on a night with a 20 mph wind.
