We beat it! Last night was the official test of how well we insulated the water main running in from the street. The conditions were perfect; high wind, and temperatures well into the teens. We had installed a dense fiberglass insulating sleeve on the pipe and then put pink panther wall insulation above and below.
The amount of wind that was whistling through the cellar was drastically reduced. But mostly, when we got up this morning the pipes were totally fine. It's an odd feeling of accomplish to beat the elements, but I kinda like it.
