she is in downtown greenville. clear roads from what we see, but if you take a look at the fountain, you can see how many icicles hanging off of this. the majority of the fountain still running where it is attached to the metal pieces. according to the insurance institute for home safety, we're at prime weather for cold in the south. we are a couple of degrees from the temperature alert threshold. they say at 20 degrees or below, pipes are vulnerable to freeze but it can still happen at these temperatures. the best way to tell if you have a frozen pipe is if you turn on a faucet, and only a trickle comes out. pipes running against exterior walls or where your water enters the home through the foundation are most likely to freeze. if that happens, keep your faucet open, apply a heated pad or hair dryer to a frozen pipe and applying heat until full water pressure is restored can help. do not use a torch to try to unfreeze. and if you can not thaw the pipe, call a plumber. aly myles live in greenville. geoff: thank yo
