    Frozen Nipples!

    Wouldn't they have the same problem with freezing right where the water comes out? What makes it a different situation? Maybe the drop of water left over doesn't hang around long enough to freeze or something? Thanks!

    wow... 646 pages! Maybe it's time for a separate forum for Virginia with different discussions instead piling everything up here??? It may have been brought up before but I'd never know!! :-)
