It's the holiday season, with a whoop-de-do...

You know that it is cold outside when your washing machine freezes. 

Oh, and it has a partially washed load in it.  Which it can't drain the water out of.  Because the drainage pipes are frozen.  I'm guessing by morning, the water in the machine will be, too.  I'm getting a vision of me outside, very cold, with a hair dryer trying to thaw this thing.  Or I could just wait for spring.  Right now it's kind of a toss up. 

I hate winter.
