I do believe I am going to have my water freeze up this winter.

While my incoming water is buried deep enough there is a spot where it enters the house where it's a bit shallower than it probably should be. 

Cold snaps don't drive the frost line down far enough to freeze things up but this long term of cold weather probably will. 

Generally we get cold snaps that last about a week and then there's some respite and things recover  bit. The current cold weather according to the 30 day forecast says it's going to be cold as hell until the middle of February. That means a deep frostline.

We shall see what we shall see.

I had an early February trip to Florida planned but I cancelled because of wanting to make sure everything here is OK and the fact that the cat is getting sick and it's a matter of time before I lose him.

If I have to put Kitty to sleep that's strictly on me. It's not fair to dump that on someone else.
