Glacier Spotted in Hugo MN House

How do you like this spell of above freezing weather we have had lately? In fact, I heard it is supposed to hit 40 degrees here this week!. I am breaking out the shorts. Despite the warm weather, I encountered a rather frozen site today. It was a glacier inside this Hugo single family house.

I have seen lots of frozen houses and broken pipes, but nothing like this. I was surprised that there was 4+ inches of ice in this back entry. It appears the water was running for several hours to accumulate this ice field. It must have been just at the freezing mark as otherwise, this water would have spread out much further than it did.

Check out how the doors are actually iced shut. Great locking mechanism!

Sadly, my garage looks very similar to this right now.

Luckily I don’t sleep in the garage!
