51. It was actually wax

Omar Sharif was sweating.

Lol

I can't picture a home frozen like that in Fla!

Yeah, pipes might burst. But result is flooding. Water won't go through when frozen. Then when it thaws, it floods. At least that was how it was in our big Texas freeze.

My house "felt" like that last night. I had on coats etc. Still freezing. Finally looked at thermostat at 4 am. Hubby kept setting it to 74. I cranked it up to 80. I finally warmed up. House isn't built for cold at all.
