COLD in Colorado


It has been Really FINE cold (Norm's version of the "F" word learned from my Sister)in Colorado since last night. Yesterday was rather glorious at about 55 during the high of the day, but down to 19 degrees during the night. We played folf in Castle Rock during the day, with the dog and it was great. After sunset tho' it was a whole different story. We had a new neighbor pull in and hook up to our water hydrant, hose and all and turned the water on. (Ours was unhooked to prevent our water lines from freezing & to prevent the hydrant from breaking). At about 10:30 Norm went out and turned off the hydrant to try to save the water supply. Turned out, the hydrant broke anyway due to the neighbor having the water on, so we are using buckets, bottles, etc today to wash dishes, flush the toilet, brush teeth and make ice for coctail hour! I'm roasting a turkey breast to use the oven to heat up the RV. Hope we don't run out of gas.....
It's really odd, the turkey breast didn't quite defrost in the fridge after almost 3 days and the ice didn't quite freeze after 24 hours. What is going on?
