Things are getting serious here - the extremities of the house are frozen!

All the pipes in the (unheated) scullery are frozen, there's a suspicious puddle under the washer and the large radiator at the front of the house is stone cold. The pipes to it run along the front wall - just above the air bricks. I've given the pipe a wiggle and there seems to be a crackling noise so I guess that's frozen too.

Our solitary 3kW fan heater is doing a poor job in the scullery at the moment. Just hope there aren't too many leaks when it's all unfrozen again. Fortunately, all our pipes are plastic so we may be lucky.

It was below -16C in nearby Woodford on both the last two nights.
