That was a hyphen. It was 18 degrees F and its under the house. Most heat tape has a built in thermostat, apparently that died and so never gave juice to the wiring. But I got lucky, the piping didn't burst, so once it was thawed out I was back in business. A couple of heat lamps and the tape got me going. The hardest part was once the water was on - I really didn't want to go back down and crawl in just to reinsulate it - I could have waited but I procrastinate on enough stuff - didn't want it hanging over my head.
