Dang it's cold outside... UPDATE

When things get below 15�F, I keep a drizzle of water running in the kitchen sink. The well house has a heater but one section of the pipe to the house is exposed as it crosses over a creek. I was sitting here tucking into my second glass of wine when I heard the faucet start to spit. Got it running with a lot more volume and the spitting has quieted down for now. Just checked and the ground surface temp is down to 4�F - radiation cooling in all of its glory... UPDATE: Air temp is 6�F and ground temp is -1�F. I had a good rate of flow going through three faucets but it just trickled to a stop in the last ten minutes. It is supposed to warm up a bit tomorrow and quite a bit on Monday. Should have running water tomorrow afternoon. Have bottled water at the house and I can shower at the store tomorrow. Life in the country... Posted by DaveH at December 7, 2013 10:19 PM
