cold wind!!!!

This morning when i got up and was by the kitchen sink i heard a noise like someone had just flushed the stool.I couldn't actually hear water running but the water pipes were making a noise.Iwent from sink to sink and from stool to stool and everywhere i went from main floor to basement---i heard all these water pipes or copper tubbing pipes making a noise. Finally Dad went outside to check the outdoor faucet right under our kitchen window-----digging through the snow he found our faucet was running not full blast but a continual med flow. So called the plummer and he came at noon and had to put a new faucet outdoors.Problem solved!!! So how long the water ran --don't know.I thought what if that had happened when we are all at the motel----- we probably would have had a flooded basement when we got home..I was scared that maybe our basement wall and flour would start to get wet this morning as the water was running into the rocks and right to the basement kitchen window.All turned out o k.
It is really cold and windy out and lots of ground drifting.
Everyone have a happy new year and try to stay healthy.Love grandma
