For all of you now worried about our pipes in AZ - yes M&M we do know how to winterize and have done it, but elected not to this time and left the heat on - not expecting the weather and depth of snow since this is unusal for the area. We thought we'd have no trouble getting our propane delivered since it is always checked and then filled when a certain level is reached. The Rim has not had snow like this for years & years!
And Kyle - thanks very much for your offer - but we would probably get there as soon as you - we are going Feb 17 - 21st.
Our dear neighbors offered to check the level and shovel our drive - they had already done it for their neighbors on the other side who found themselves in the same fix. We bought the biggest tank we could - others have much smaller ones - so thought we had plenty for the winter - but not at -15!
Live & learn!

I'm glad the neighbors are nice!
Hey! Let's hope they STAY nice! But then, country people are like that. They know things will happen to them, so that is why they help. MB
Yep! "Country neighbors" are the greatest! They virtually come out of the woodwork for strangers as well as friends!
Once in Summerville, the local, unknown to us, plumber who lived "around the bend" virtually flagged Mike down one day when Mike was on his way to La Grande to work,and asked if Mike would stop by and drop his sick cat off at the vet for him the next day! We'd never met the guy, but yes! Of COURSE - that is how it was done in the country! Well, you guessed it, when we later had a plumbling need and like good "city people", asked for an "estimate", he was honestly insulted, called it a trade, instead, refusing to charge us a cent!
Glad it will be worked out! mc
