No. Sorry, bro. We know your microclimate. You can only tell us that it isn't snowing over your house.

Let's Go Caps!

I hope @Ji keeps drinking that TWC jazz. I've liked more of his posts in the past three days than in the past 15 years.

There are still people not here that think they're getting 20" because their phone still says it.

Maybe Kalshi would have it.

And pick up a glass!

They have a better transit system there than Baltimore. Seriously. And the pipes are thawed!! I don't think there's any damage, and I've left on the upstairs bathroom sink to trickle.

Damn. Benson is a cutie! 14 outside. 104 in the laundry room.

Okay, rye whiskey is poured. Cat is going outside, back inside, outside, inside, repeat... Caps game is on soon. Radar returns are showing up. And snow is on the way! Let's go!

I understand the reason for codes, but there has to be some common sense involved. But thanks. I'm not overly worked up over it. I am pretty sure that I turned off the water to that part of the house before any pipes were damaged, and I still have the bathroom in the original 1941 structure to use because it never freezes. It's just the newer part.

On topic, I've never seen so much salt on the roads as I did tonight in the city. Off topic, the attic pipes that froze are over my laundry room. It's been a problem since I put on the addition over 20 years ago. Putting water pipes in a wall between the house and garage is against code, so we were forced by the inspector to run them up a narrow wall for a closet, into the attic about 6" from the eaves of the steeply pitched roof. Makes complete sense since the pipes go into an attic on the north side of the house that doesn't get sunlight from December to March, and where it's 15 degrees now, while my well insulated south facing garage is a balmy 43. I built a coffin around the pipes in the attic by insulating the rafters with foam board and topping with R-stupid high insulation, and even cut a vent into the ceiling of my laundry room into the coffin so heat from that room would heat the coffin. Still, the cold line froze. So my solution is that I have a kerosene heater in the laundry room now to hopefully really get some hot air in the coffin with the pipes. This is either going to work, or the paint is coming off the walls. Not sure why it's sideways.

14 here with half the house without water because I forgot to drip a faucet. Oh, well. Showers are overrated.

Not to mention that we have to live in Baltimore!

I'm glad that I have to work the brewery today. It'll be good to step away for the afternoon.
