Morning everyone . . . 
13° and a light breeze is moving the flag out front.
I sure hope the WH drain valve is cooperative about opening and closing to try to drain the sediment. Sometimes if it hasn't been drained every year the sediment builds up in the bottom enough that it won't allow the water to drain and flush the sediment out. Just had mine, a electric WH, replaced about three months ago as it was getting over ten years old and I don't want the emergency issue of it leaking and needing replacement in the middle of a blizzard.
By the way if you have McCafe decaffeinated keurig coffee pods there is a "soft" recall, because some may contain caffeinated coffee, not that I use them but saw a news blurb about it yesterday. Gave me a chuckle.
