Projected low is -40 tonight. (I’m not staying up to monitor it.). Put the back bathroom tap on “drip” mode and hope that prevents freeze-up. You Canadians are a whole different breed than most of us are. Here in middle Tennessee, we get a text to leave faucets on drip whenever it gets below 32F / 0C. > [@(Old) Buddying With Allies in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-buddying-with-allies-in-the-mmp/1014118/378): > > As for protesting, it’s about 100 miles to the capital and I’m just not up for it…yet…but maybe soon… It’s only 15 miles to my state capitol, but it’s too cold for me. However, I did make sure that my great niece and two of her friends had a gift card to a local BBQ place near the protest. > [@swampbear](#): > > **Sticky\_Buns** I haven’t slapped anyone upside the haid even though I really want to.

While the winters weren’t nearly as frigid as what **piper** gets, where I grew up in the land of lake effects snow, it came back year after year. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > It was cold and my hip hurts and I need kitty cuddles for a while. Wel deserved. Thank you for standing up. I got pulled up front to do envelopes right before lunch today. They’ve ~~idiot proofed~~ improved the design of the envelopes to keep the ~~idiots~~ subscribers from taping over the tear strip by eliminating the tear strip. It does make them easier to open with a [hooked box knife](https://www.amazon.com/Klever-Stainless-Package-Utility-Assorted/dp/B085W4CW3B/ref=asc_df_B085W4CW3B?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80333160240054&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583932709052708&psc=1). It’s still cold here and fixing to get colder. TWPTB are calling for snow tomorrow night.
