Got up to let the the dogs out this morning at 6am and the screen door was frozen shut. I was worried about my camper at my brothers house in Black Forest (weatherbug said it was 25 degrees). It is always colder out there at 7200 elevation. Then after kicking the screen door open I walked out to look at the hose and sure enough it was still attached to the spigot. Frozen on there I could not get the hose off or turn the water on. So I go get a big pan of hot water and proceed to thaw it out. I got lucky this time and it did not split open but it was frozen hard. So then I drove out to my camping trailer and turned the furnace on for a while. Not a fun morning.

Made the same mstake. At least I just recently replaced the spigot so there shouldn't be any water in there.
