Yep, woke up this morning to a brisk NW wind and snow. While the snow was not heavy, it was enough to remind us just how cold it was outside...not that we really needed any reminders. I think the official high temp today was just above freezing, and I do mean just. At 6pm it was already back down to 30 degrees and falling. So what happens at camp when it gets this cold? Well normally we would be hunkering down inside looking for any project that we could do near the oil stove. However, just our luck, today is grocery delivery day. That means having to unload 5 full pallets of food and dry goods while trying not to freeze in the brutal weather. The truck arrived at 12:30 and 5 hours later we finally had the last box out of the yard. Needless to say, the rest of the night is going to consist of watching movies, playing games with the kids, catching up on office work, and just relaxing in our nice warm cabin.
The bad news for me...I will most likely be up all night as I will have to make sure all water continues to run. I will have to run the water pump every hour or so, then let the faucets drip, then run the pump again, and so on and so on. It stinks, but it is the surest way to prevent frozen pipes. I hate crawling under cabins trying to fix cracked water lines!
