Pipes: watch the cold

Tonight’s low: 24°−4°

Heating this week

About 68% less heating than a typical week.

h below 47°F: 47
h below 17°F: 0
h below 5°F: 0

47, 17 and 5°F are the test points heat pumps are rated at. About 7 hours are near freezing and damp, when outdoor units defrost more often.

Comfort

Dry air outside (dew point 26°F).

Open the windows?

No stretch in the next few days is comfortable enough outside, by temperature, dew point and air quality.
