Frozen pipes are more than an inconvenience.

Frozen pipes can cause real damage when they finally thaw and start gushing water. Water in the pipes expands as it freezes and can crack even metal pipes. When it thaws... look out!

Photo by 7thstreetreg.comUpdate: It's now 4:30 PM and still no water! I have been under the house with an oscillating heater, warmed up one side, then rewrapped the pipe with insulation wrap. The heater is now on the other side of the house (second pipe up from underground) with moving blankets on the porch over to keep the heat in. No Water. It will be a long night.

I hope you figure out why you don't have any water. Yikes to that last picture, I'd hate to come home to that mess.
Bummer. We had one frozen pipe earlier this week when our cold snap was much colder. Luckily it was only the pipe to our downstairs toilet and it thawed and refroze a couple of times with no damage.
I have at least 18" of snow in my back yard right now. Totally weird for the Pacific Northwest!!!
Lisa, the casita will have an opening later this week. You and Studly are welcome.
Blimey, you will have to bathe in the creek LMFAO.... we dont really get frozen pipes in our little house but then we dont get it as cold as you, our outside tap did freeze once though, dam I had to come into the house to get water for the rabbits LOL well, when we had rabbits, not that we have anymore cos they all died and we didnt replace them, but if I had replaced them I would of gotten another lop earred rabbit like our hovis that was 12 when he snuffed it LOL
