I see the OP is from Michigan. There was a news story that the Mackinac Bridge was closed because of a pile up in white-out conditions. I don't know how often that happens because it's not like you can take another route.

I hear you. Yesterday I was going upstairs and thought it felt a bit cold up there. Sure enough my heat was not working. The pipes in the second zone were frozen somewhere in there. The oil people were in the basement from 10:30 pm to 2 am and could not get it going. We slept with a space heater last night. All I did today was just keep the heater up to 85 degrees and hoped it would heat. At 12 noon today it worked and we got the heat back. Moral of the story---don't turn your zones down too low to save oil---you may freeze pipes and have to spend the money on repairs! Arg---I hate Winter!

Last weekend we were in the process of replacing our glass door shower. My dh removed and carried out the first door to set out at the curb for our garbage pick up. I waited for him at our front door when he was carrying down the second door. As I held the door open for him, as soon as the second door hit the cold air it shattered into a million pieces!!! All over our front porch, some of it came into my foyer. I was on my hands and knees trying to find every last piece. We have kitties and I surely didn't want one of them stepping on one! That was the oddest thing! The doors weren't wet. And why only one of the doors broke is strange.

Some moron decided he wanted to turn around and attempted to make a u-turn on the bridge!
