14 tonight for me but @Texag87 will be even colder. We are not set up for this. I'm expecting plumbing burst tomorrow.

If you can trickle a little water (if the pipes aren't already froze shut) they won't freeze I live where it freezes almost every year and this works.

Today my chicks did the best they ever have . 5 out if 5 and it's the coldest day so far! High today was -1. Go figure.

Unfortunately the outside faucet froze this morning while it was only 32. So I can't trickle then. The baby ducks are warm in the kitchen and raising zoomie hell

I used a gas torch to thaw the bronze valve at the end of my garden hose this morning then opened it fully, straightened the hose and walked up and down on it so that the water could come through. At first only a trickle, but in the end i could blast all the ice out of the hose, then drained it for tonight and tomorrow.
Don't you have a gas torch? If the copper line freezes, it will rupture and may flood your basement. At least put an old pillow over the faucet so that the escaping warmth from the house will thaw it overnight! That's what we did during frosty nights in Houston.

We have been more or less below freezing since Thursday night. Friday night I put the covers on the outside faucets so it’s hand carry water to the ducks until next Saturday probably . 12 tonight and 2 Tuesday morning.

No basements here and no water at all, until it gets light enough b to try to get the well generator to start. I'm sure by then the well will be frozen. And I will be days without water
