PSA for your pipes tonight
Remember to open cabinets/doors to any pipes that are on outside walls of your house tonight. Having a pipe burst is no fun.
A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

School me on cold weather and pipes please.

Below a certain degree margin (teens I think), there's a danger that your pipes will freeze and burst. The pipes that are most susceptible are the ones along outside walls, and those coming into your basement.
The best way to combat this is to open up your cabinets/doors and let your house keep them warm. You can also let a small stream of warm water trickle through them.
Tonight is supposed to be -6, so definitely within the freeze danger area.

Probably not to the same degree because it doesn't get that cold that often here. Kind of the same deal with engine heaters? I know people have them in colder climates and when it was stupid cold last year I saw why because Hilda wouldn't start.

See this is what I was thinking, Growing up in CT we NEVER did this and the only people I ever knew with burst pipes were snowbirds who didn't properly winterize their houses.
Ponder-ing whether or not to become a Viking's fan
A lot of the older houses (1980s and older) don't have insulation in the outside walls.
Totally unrelated, but I must be from a different planet b/c I think of a 1960s+ house as "newer" and likely "updated" compared to the 1890-1940s houses we're looking at these days. Wow weren't the 80's just a few years ago?
Are you united with the CCOKCs?
