One more night?

[carbonel]

Xcel's phone recording now says that power will be restored to most of the Twin Cities outages by end of day Monday -- this morning it said EOD Sunday.

Current temperature in the house is 58 degrees. Given that, and that tonight's low temp is supposed to be 28 -- just below freezing -- do I need to worry about frozen pipes yet?

(back at Caribou after watching the Vikings lose to the Bears. I now owe my mother $5.)

It's unlikely your pipes will freeze in one night of below freezing temps.

I'd still leave sink/bathtub faucet on, just to flow some water. You're probably safe, but it's worth a little extra insurance.

How annoying.

It's a slightly different situation, but we had a dead upstairs furnace one October when the weather was like this for a couple of days (mostly it was warmer), and pipes did not freeze. Leaving a bare trickle running isn't a bad idea, but I don't think there's much to worry about.
