I am sure by now everyone in the grips of this cold, subzero weather is not only sick of hearing about it, but also sick of living it!   The heat went out again overnight.  The icicle formed on the outside pipe again sometime in the middle of the night.  We sleep with a small space heater in our bedroom – its toasty posty in there! ...
