This cold system is really interesting, we've got forecast temperatures in the teens for three or four nights in a row. I honestly don't ever recall this happening down here. Maybe it did and I wasn't paying attention, but I don't think so. The plumbers will be busy afterwards. For us, thankfully its hitting just before we have to be gone for several days and not hitting while we're gone. My plants are just going have to deal with a chill in the trailer, hopefully I'll be able to keep them warm enough there without having to run the central unit 24/7. I usually run the heating system down around 40F just to keep pipes from freezing. Rather than jack the temperature up over the entire trailer I think I'll use a small electric heater in the room to elevate the temperature in there and the rest of the trailer can just stay above freezing with a low thermostat setting. I know ya'll regularly deal with much lower temperatures that what we're looking at but down here this will be an unusual cold spell that people simply aren't geared up for.
