Get ready to wrap your outside connections if freezing is expected in your neighborhood.
Pass this on to other FReeper CA residents please.
You know, up here I’ve noticed we can get down to around 19 or so if it’s for only one night without any problems with outdoor spigots and so forth. I do leave one tap with a slight dribble. Anything below that and I’ve always taken precautions. Or if it stays below freezing for even one 24 hour cycle you’d better drain and bundle things up. I rigged my heat tape up with switches this year so I don’t have to plug in and unplug constantly, because the auto cutoff is up around 45 and that’s too warm. Hundreds of watts gets expensive.
No kidding! It got down to less than 10 degrees here in 1990!!! Everybody had busted pipes all over the place!!!
