How cold was it?
Despite temperatures hovering below freezing last week, Edmonds escaped major problems.
But Public Works reported three water main breaks over two days, caused when frozen cast iron pipes began warming up again. There was no significant property damage.
Police said they recorded no major mishaps on the city’s roads.
Nevertheless, as the fountain outside Girardi’s Osteria at 504 5th Ave. S showed, unless it was a hot topic, it was a good time to keep your mouth shut.
