Here we have two of the coldest nights this coming week. New Years eve will be 76 day and 63 night. then Two nights of 20's. Sat will be 80' then down to 29. Sunday day 51 then night 26' The rest of the week will be in the 50's and up to 66 then 75. nights will be 36, 44 then 47. I hope they don't go any colder.. I will have to turn the well off, drain the it, drain the hot water heater and turn it off. Plus leave the taps to drip so there is no water in any pipes. I am not going to turn the well on during the day. I have enough well water in large cat litter jugs.

In fact when I fill some of the empties, one of them crack on the bottom, which I did not notice. I stacked it in the kitchen and when I woke up the next morning I was walking barefoot to feed Charlie and the cats and OMG.... I thought the kitchen pipes had broken.

It took me two hours to clean up, realize it was a jug, drag the sopping heavy carpet out back and hang from the railing. At least my kitchen floor is mopped. 8-(

Whew! What a mess.

I really hope you find a way to have fuel. You can't live safely without it. Praying for a solution to find you... and candles lit for warmer nights & days.
