Yet being the key word. Just a couple dustings here so far but when it starts there will be plenty to go around. Like they say, too cold to snow.First winter on the east coast. Not too bad so far, compared to where we moved from in Muskoka, Ontario where as torch described, it's been in the -30 to -40c range. Here, the coldest night so far has been a -25 with -33c wind chill.
Not nearly as much snow here (yet). Only around 6 to 8" so far.

Daren- common thing up north is to leave sink cabinet doors open when it gets real cold. Keeps water and drains from freezing.We haven't been that cold. Low 20's during the day, and high single digits at night. Haven't had any frozen pipes. But did have a frozen drain on the master bathroom sink. Think it's because the faucet has a slight drip allowing ice to build up.
Was able to dissolve a bunch of rock salt in a gallon or so of water to thaw the drain. Drain happens to be on a north exterior wall. I did have to pull the J trap and drain the line in order to get the boiling water and salt to where it needed to go.
You forget I lived 20 years in Vermont The drain giving us issues is on the north side of the house on an exterior wall. I've always been leary about that one. Bordering on paranoia Cabinets were open as well as the bathroom door since we are running the wood stove. That's why it caught me by surprise when the sink backed up.Daren- common thing up north is to leave sink cabinet doors open when it gets real cold. Keeps water and drains from freezing.
Probably don't have to worry about that often down there, but it does work.
Usually a water drip helps keep them from freezing, so betting you have a cold air leak near the drain. Cold enough to freeze the trap.
