Tonight in NYS supposed to be 0F, and wind
chill -10 or so. Which number is the one
which concerns water pipes freezing?

I know the pipes won't get below the actual
temp, but are they more likely to freeze,
with wind?


Last time it was above 0 here was New Years Day. High yesterday -8 with
wind chill -33, high today -4 with wind chill -30 at noon, -9 now, -15
(air) tonights low.

What's the point? It always sucks worse someplace else.

But if you're smart, you move someplace better than where it stays
below 0F for days, or weeks, on end. It'll be cold here next week,
too. The highs will be in the 30s next week (but back to 60 for the
weekend).
