Not to worry you - but how cold is "cold"?

Depending upon how well insulated the house is -
sooner or later you need to start thinking about the Water Pipes
freezing up - a NOT pleasant thought.

You can help minimize the freeze-up by letting the water *RUN*
from sinks and tubs - a "fast drip" or "slow trickle" should
prevent a freeze.

Stuff like washing machines, dish washers, are kinda hard to
trick into "running" without electricity.

Opening up the under-sink storage areas (it gets cold-ER under there)
will also help - but be sure to "HIDE" all the stuff under there
that the FUrKids need to keep their lil Pawz off of!

Hope the power returns BEFORE you have any problems!
