Major winter storm overnight in Chicago. Waking up to about 16 inches of snow this morning. How long until spring?

My neighbor just earned himself a batch of cookies. Love it when people with plows like to go out and play in the snow. He did our whole street.

Went for a quick jaunt yesterday to our little lakeside cafe on the cruiser bikes. Started at 64 degrees with sun setting but after she went down it was a brisk 58! BURRR!

How far from the lake are you? We only got maybe 5-6" of snow by me.

Found out from my wife that the pipes burst in our remodeled basement.

Now I get to come home from my trip and go live in a hotel until I get things sorted.

I've got to undo most everything I did in the basement to fix the pipes, figure out how to keep it from happening again, then re-do the remodel.

This? Sucks.

At least the breaks were on the side of the valve I could shut off (although I apparently still have a little bit of a lake).

Sigh.

is your basement heated?
insulate your pipes, shut off any lines that feed to exterior hose bib/spigot

i just moved in to my first house, one of the exterior hose bib has a leak, slow drip. At one point i had a glacier right up to the tip of the hose bib. I cant find shutoff valve to repair hose bib, replacing the washer inside. i dont have a basement.

We just got above freezing since around 3pm on Monday. That may not seem like much for everyone else but that rarely happens in NOLA. We broke a 122 year temperature record yesterday. Ice on bridges this am and several accidents around they city.

That sucks. Can't you file an insurance claim for it?

I don't know. Sounds a little chilly. That could be windbreaker weather in the morning.
