it'* been really cold here too, last night on my way home from work at 1:30 Am it was -9 degrees Farenheit out! I have a 15 mile/20 minute drive from work to home, I let the car warm up for 5 minutes and I still didn't have full heat by the time I got home. the car was putting out warm air, but not hot. :(

BE CAREFUL with how you thaw those pipes!!! I'm assuming they are metal, and if you heat the places where they connect too quickly, it makes it LIKELY that they will burst!!! Some parts of metal will heat faster than others, and strain the threads in the connections...probably damaging them and possibly ruining them!
