When the children turn on the faucet....

So apparently, at some point, the children turned the outdoor faucet on and "forgot" to turn it off.  We have a hose splitter on the faucet and both were turned off, but the faucet itself was left on.  Well we had a "Polar Vortex" here and it got pretty cold.  At some point, while Beki was away doing the shopping, the gasket failed on the host splitter and water was spraying all over the front of the house.  Since it was so cold, it froze when it hit anything.  When Beki got home, the spraying water was discovered and turned off.  Thankfully there was no permanent damage, but it did make quite a large addition to our water bill.
