3 degrees here now, expected low of zero....
Nearly ALL of my family is in the northeast around Akron and Youngstown, except one Sister who is in Florida. If.......... When I move back north in a few years, I might be closer to you as N. E. Ohio is one of my least favorite places on earth. I love my people but, that grey, depressing, perpetually cloudy place full of cranky, sarcastic people isn't exactly my dream location.

In a few years, I'm perfectly likely to have moved to the west coast....

This is almost the coldest I have ever seen it here, 12 degrees.

Do you worry about water lines freezing up?

I had to remind my sons because they have not seen this cold in awhile.

I ran them all inside, in the heat. The only waterline outside is the supply line, buried 2' down, coming up inside the heated garage.

...First, a monster ocean storm is taking shape, which pasted parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina with rare ice and snow early Wednesday. By Thursday, the exploding storm will, in many ways, resemble a winter hurricane, battering easternmost New England with potentially damaging winds in addition to blinding snow. Blizzard warnings have been issued for the Virginia Tidewater region up the coast to eastern Maine, including Ocean City, Atlantic City, eastern Long Island, Boston and Portland.
“This rapidly intensifying East Coast storm will produce strong, damaging winds — possibly resulting in downed trees, power outages and coastal flooding,” the National Weather Service tweeted Wednesday.
Forecasters are expecting the storm to become a “bomb cyclone” because its pressure is predicted to fall so fast, an indicator of explosive strengthening. The storm could rank as the most intense over the waters east of New England in decades at this time of year." WP

I'd be laying in some firewood if I still lived in the DC area. This looks really nasty.

My liquor cabinet is stocked. Here in the NW exurbs, we're only supposed to get a couple of inches of snow, but it's supposed to get even colder than it already is. It's supposed to get down to 3 degrees F on both Friday and Saturday.

I heard it was snowing all the way down to Tallahassee but it's only 65 degrees here. (grin)
