Weather temps in the negatives.....what do you do?

[Wineguy]

Do you all go out during the night and start your cars every few hours? Do you run water constantly to keep your pipes from breaking and flowing? Do you wrap exposed pipes with blankets and your perrenial plants? What precautions do you all do? We in the south have no idea.

If you take care of your car, it will start. Some people warm it up for a half an hour and more! Only need 5 minutes.

Pipes shouldn't freeze as long as the house is warm.

Plants? Fuck em!

It was 5 below zero when I went out this morning to snowblow. We got about 8 inches overnight. Don't know what the wind chill was.
Don't have to let water drip or any of that stuff. Just another winter day here.
