NO SHOW

The expected frost didn't show last night. It was easily over five degrees warmer than expected. Maybe more. Clouds came in to reduce radiational cooling and the front bringing the colder air got in early so that it's warmer side started in before dawn.

I was ready though.

Our water pipes are across the roof. They got there when former owners had to abandon the in-slab piping that leaked. A second rate solution but the only economically feasible one.

I have had frozen pipes two or three times. Once with major replacement. Slush a few more. The thing is to keep the water flowing.

I would just have stayed home from the gym so I could go run some water in the back bathroom, the only vulnerable place, every 15 minutes or so.
