Temps out here are dropping like a rock. I went to my parents to turn the heater on in their house and the water back on for them (they are coming home from out of town) and as I was leaving I heard all this water running. I looked at their roof and water was gushing out of the solar panels. Looks like it went below freeing last night and whatever water was left in the panels froze, expanded and busted some sort of valve.

It's 45*F at my place right now, that means it's probably around 40* at my parents, about 10 minutes away from me. It's going to get cold by Cali standards tonight! I saw a blurb that said it's roughly 30* colder on the West coast than it should be and 30* warmer on the East coast. I'm in for the rest of the night and shoving folded newspaper in the front door to fill the gaps.
