This forum has me worried out of my mind... dead pets, frozen pipes, dying shrubs... I'm thinking of evacuating to somewhere safe until this weather passes... any suggestions?

Maybe going south to Mexico? Probably need to join a gang because of the drug cartels... but that shouldn't be a problem... I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

Forecast low for Friday night in Matamoros is 29. 68 in Buenos Aires if you're looking at way south.

Are you serious? 22 degrees and you're gone? The dead pet thing is not true. That's so not gonna happen.
You have a problem with dying shrubs? Why is that? They will grow back eventually.
You keep the pipes going by allowing a very thin trickle of water to flow through the water lines.

There is NO reason to panic. It's all good.

I grew up in Michigan where actual temps reach below zero levels. You will be fine. I think our pipes are insulated up north, but just do the trickle of water thing if you are really concerned. You're only in real trouble if your heater breaks....
