Indeed, water was actually stopped, I was just seeing what was left in the pipes.
But DH came home, found the frozen intake, and it thawed out in not too much time.
So hurrah! Now we know to be more cautious in these temps.

We're done with freezing after tonight for a week. Low tonight of 28, high tomorrow of 58.

One more day....
Monday is looking like it might even sneak above freezing. Wouldn't that be something

Same bastardly cold here! 
Bay, like you, we are supposed to be mid 40 Monday & up to 60 by Friday. More "normal" for us. I am so over this white crap!! Truly unusual for our area to be this cold, this long. And snow is 12th most in something like 50 yrs. Haven't been on roads since Wed and that's ok but, the winds keep moving this darned snow, so the paths I make each day just disappear! Carrying buckets of water gets tricky as you walk along, hit a drift, then buckets drag. I pull hay on a large tarp type bag.
It's hard to heat a house above the mid 60's when it's minus 5 outside. I'm tired of cold.
Now on a 48 hr countdown to sanity !!!

Yup, I'm counting down with you.
Windchill at -40 right now. It's not my first time with those temps, but it's already been so cold for the last two weeks that -40 just feels like being kicked when you're already down.

Ha, feels like -40 this morning and it's supposed to be above freezing tomorrow. That is some temperature change.

All of my eggs for the past couple of days have been frozen.
