We've been letting the water run so it hasn't frozen up. Last real cold snap, 
we tried to ration it to just a small drip and the water froze at the tank. 
when we went up there to check on it, overflow was immense and the tank was 
completely full. So now when it's below freezing, we let it run a lot harder 
because we know it's likely full and overflowing anyway and it isn't going to 
drain down 1500 gallons overnight with it running in the sink. Most likely is 
that the amount we are running is the same amount that would be overflowing 
anyway.

 Roxann; I read on your blog about the storm and how well the woodstove 
cooking went for your family.  Though you don't have a well, you could have 
still had frozen pipes, but since you didn'y mention that, I suppose it 
wasn't a problem.  Good luck and keep us posted
