The guy babysitting your home needs a raise or a big tip!!

Oh, he will get a case of good vodka for sure when getting home.
The big bottles!

With a heat pump, the house may even be getting warm by now...warmer, anyhow...

With the outside temps at single digits, the electric heat strips take over. Heat pumps are worthless when temps get this low.

Ah, but you only mentioned the heat pump installer and what they found. As an fyi, they only found pumps worthless in low temps after selling only pumps to many many a home owner, which I am sure you know.

My daughter has been waffling about when to head back to Norman, and she really wants to wait until Saturday. I’ve suggested she might want to leave Wednesday and get ahead of what’s supposed to be hitting up there on Thursday, and I just saw this morning that DFW is supposed to get some nasty weather starting Wednesday afternoon.
What do y’all think is the safest option? Leave Wednesday morning or wait until Saturday?

I'm surprised she's stayed this long and didn't leave in the middle of the night last week! Sounds like she's missing her folks and wants to see ya a couple more days. I'd lean towards Weds if were me - stop and get fixins for soup/chili then just stay in. If it gets worse than forecast(very likely) or pushes out a day, she may be in a worse situation. Saturday doesn't leave much time to get ready for the start of school either IMO.

20° at 8:00 am, sunny, bright, calm and COLD!
Possibly HEAVY snows, Thursday, but snow and ice coming. Not suppose to clear until Sunday. For her safety, I would be leaving in time to arrive before dark.

We’re of the same opinion. She’s made comments about not being able drive anywhere to get food, but I reminded her that she lives right next door to a neighborhood WMart.
