Default Travel plans got frozen out

We were packed and happily ready to go when we went to bed last night.

I had figured it was colder than 40 below. The car wouldn't start with it
plugged in, and the charger on it. And the pipes had frozen, even heat
tapes on it. I figured we'd take a cab, and when we got home the weather
would be warmer and the pipes would thaw. Actually, sit was -50 in town it
would have been closer to -60 out here last night.

And then came morning. Though the thermostat was set at 70, it was almost
down to 50 in the house. And the dog's water bowl, on the floor, actually
had ice in it. We hit the restart button on the boiler and got the place
heating up again. But so very slowly.

So I'm still home. We just couldn't risk having the heat be a problem and
coming home to a house with broken pipes in the wall, and with frozen/broken
boiler, water heater, water pump, etc.

The house has been slowly heating up. About 3 degrees an hour. Course, if
I went out and chopped some wood it would go faster!

They say it's the only fuel that heats you twice!
