It's been a very unusual winter for all of us. Coldest so far was 12 below, unlike many winters where we have a spell of minus 22 or so. All water pipes are berried below the frost line to prevent freezing here. We also use the frostless water spigots to prevent freezing. Lots of heat tapes, and tank water heaters. It's always nice when the temps get above freezing and I don't have to pound ice out of water buckets.
