Well, how about the fact that they are ridiculously cold?
So cold, in fact, that your pipes will freeze. Leading to this:
Even if you keep your water running 24/7, and the temperature in your house is waaaay above the thrifty 67 degrees it usually is. (Pipes, afterall, can't wear layers.)
And, in case you were wondering, frozen pipes = lots of money for emergency plumbing help.
It could have been a LOT worse, so really I need to just say a prayer of gratitude and thanks. When they bust, it was on the unfinished side of our basement (meaning no water damage) and I was able to get a plumber just a few short hours later (he informed me they had turned down 40 calls already that day).
So thank heavens for savings, and I suppose it is a small price to pay on a day when many people have had much worse.
