And now the cold water side is running. Yay. We have water again. (The cold side has to be running for the reverse osmosis unit to fill properly.)

We haven’t had any snow in a couple days, but Omaha got hammered yesterday. There were also multi-car pileups along Interstate 80 east of here all the way to Iowa.

So you have a hot water pipe that goes from the heater/furnace to the kitchen, but no return pipe(s) to the heater/furnace?
Most homes in these parts have what’s called Varmvattencirkulation (Warm Water Circulation), where you have a return pipe for the hot water (mine goes through a tower heater in the bathroom (not allowed these days, has to be direct return))) to keep the hot water hot, and to prevent spots where you can get Legionella.
Could be an idea the next time you have to do plumbing work, tho no idea how economical it’d be, but it would prevent pipes freezing.
