  1. Well I have a 6 foot run to the drain so I am not getting caught out again.  Friends laughing at me when I told them I was doing that this weekend as they just don't believe how cold it will get by Monday.   I lived and worked in Alberta so see this set up year in and year out with a wind chill of -31 and your eye lids freeze and you have to ensure every bit of you is covered and warm your cheeks up to ensure frost bite does not start with them turning white.

  2. Well that is my outside drain pipes from my gas boiler with a heated trace wire and lagging completed. in 2010 the drain pipes froze and the heating stopped until I poured hot water on the plastic pipe outside.  Needed a new trace wire so all completed bring on that wind chill to my north facing back pipes..   Off for a family walk now as it is lovely.

  3. It is interesting that we do not have any cold weather warnings around keeping an eye on the elderly and also warning people of potential frozen then burst pipes.  Looking at the charts this cold a snowy end to winter will surpass 2009/2010
