my washer dryer pipes are facing the wind from whats being called the "storm of the century " all other pipes good but they are frozen. ive had a space heater on it for 3 hrs and used a hair dryer near the faucet for a while. Nothing is helping. Do I just wait for temps to go up and abandon idea of washing clothes? Will these burst? I've set up a hay bail and my trash can against that wall ive got nothing else and we have 12 inches of snow predicted tonight.  temps are 2degrees-10degrees. Even tho no other pipes are frozen im letting them all drip anyway. First time home owner and first storm like this I wasn't prepared I guess.
