How cold is it right now? Not very, actually, but that’s because I’m in the UK and the temperature flits between freezing point and hot all year without actually ever hitting the extremes. But parts of America are really suffering at the moment.
There’s one huge problem that occurs when the temperature drops rapidly: frozen pipes. This video shows you how to prevent your water pipes from freezing although it likely won’t help you if they’ve already frozen.
This How To instructional video from Expert Village shows a plumber demonstrating what to do to prevent water pipes from freezing. It’s not rocket science but taking these simple precautions can stop any problems from ever occurring.
I actually like cold weather but I’m talking about British cold weather which hovers around 0 degrees. I don’t know how well I’d cope if the temperature dropped any lower though, especially as my heating is broken.
