It's still 8 degrees here, and the constant drip, drip, drip of the indoor faucets and open cupboards and vanities are

3. I've used all that water

I have one sink where the pipes want to freeze when it gets ice cold out. My plumber looked at it and told me I would have to tear the whole sink and counter out to get to the area where it's freezing. He recommended I just let the faucet drip at times like this, so I have been doing so for the past 5 days.

I use all the water: watering plants and to flush the toilet, mostly. None of it has been wasted.

On edit: by letting it drip into a clean container, I can also use it in my humidifier.
