we had an ice storm christmas 2004. i hung blankets over the doors to the other rooms, laid as many rugs on the floor as i could find and kept pots of water boiling in the kitchen 9our retreat) to keep the humidity up and the heat down low. b/c i was curious i brought a thermometer in the kitchen to check as well, inside the house it was 42...OH!!!! open all the cupboard doors under sinks and start a thin trickle of water, including garage and basements from all the faucets, heaven forbid, but busted pipes from freezing will ruin a lot of homes, opening them can prevent ice jams. do you know where the water spigot from into the house is?
