I've got about 1 to 1 1/2 inches on my back proch right now. It's been a loooong time since we've seen snow down here too. All the schools announced yesterday they were gonna be closed today. Bad thing is, all the snow that had a chance to melt today is gonna freeze hard b/c it's going down to low 20's tonight. It'll be ice city here in the morning.

Low 20's is not a hard freeze. Youz guys need to come up this way for a bit.

We got about what BC said - 1 - 1.5 inches.

Saturday morning it was 8 degrees at my house. I stepped out for a bit after unloading some firewood. When I got home 3 hours later a pipe had busted and about 15 - 20 gallons of H2O was spread nice and evenly across my floor!! Luckily it was all downstairs which is block foundation w/ a concrete slab so no damages whatsoever....just a lengthy cleanup process. The pipe that busted was pex and I was able to take a few, ok SEVERAL pieces of wood siding off the side of the house to find it (turned it on for a second and listened). Then I had to borrow a pex crimping tool from my father-in law at 10:30 pm Monday night. Had it all fixed and siding back on before 1 am!! FUN FUN FUN!!

P.S. this morning it was 14 degrees. I insulated the SH*T out of those pipes while I was in there!!

Reel I thought it was unusual considering my buddy has completely exposed pex running into his guest house and not a problem.

This was a 2.5 inch section of 1/2 inch pex connected to an elbow on one end and to a 1/2 inch copper pipe w/ fitting on the other. It didn't split - your buddy was right about that!! It popped like a chewing gum bubble!!
