We always kept a heat lamp in our well area as well as heat tape and
insullation around exposed areas. When things did freeze, I can't tell you
how many blow dryers we burnt up getting our water back!! After 15 years
though, the aforementioned seemed to beat the coldest that WA state could
give. We had so much insullation around our hot water heater, which was in
the potato cellar, that the cat used to curl up in it and once she gave birth
in it. Amazed me the stuff never affected her. We got the kittens out quickly
and washed them...they turned out just fine.
Sincerely
Teri Oliver

I guess I should clarify - our well is 200 feet deep but the pipes to
the house are only 3 feet deep. The pipes from the well head to the
underground pipes through the floor of the well house froze! There is a
heater out there that keeps the interior at almost 50. Not enough to
keep the pipes unfrozen!

At sunrise this morning our outdoor thermometer read 8F. Cold but
still, clear and beautiful. The ground is well insulated by a thick
blanket of snow, and in the absense of any wind solar radiation at
our low latitude is enough to overheat the horses in their plush
winter coats.
My favorite source of tips for prevention of and coping with horse
related issues of foul weather is the Usenet newsgroup rec.equestrian.
Its archive is searchable via Google Groups. Eg:
