And I don’t have to worry about water left in the vertical pipes that go above ground that form the actual shower? I left the shower valve open so that if those pipes started to freeze it would maybe push any extra water out the shower head.
Random homeowner question that maybe someone here knows the answer to. This summer I had plumbing run out into my yard for an outdoor shower. I had the pipes buried around 2 feet deep. I of course shut off the supply of water before it got down to freezing. I know in colder climates people use compressed air to completely empty pipes of any water that run outside. Is that something I need to do? I've never had any plumbing that went exterior before...
Yeah, these temps with those rates would work just fine. What doesn't really work for accumulating is the 33 and flurries/light snow like we had with the last one.
The late next week threat is our first chance for an actually cold snowstorm. If we have high temps in the low to mid 20s it doesn't even take much to make me happy.
There were only two periods during this whole event where I had legit moderate snow. One was Sunday, I forget what time, and one was this morning but each one only lasted for about an hour or less. Mostly it's been flurries and very light snow.
Road crews have had it easy here in urban heat island hell. The combination of marginal temps and light rates means the roads have mostly melted on their own.
It’ll get posted pretty much every time when there is an event in play. You don’t even have to ask. The next event wouldn’t start until around 120 hours though and the 18z Euro only goes out to 90, so you can maybe get some clues about it but you’ll have to wait for the 18z EPS to see how it trended. That comes out around 8pm or a little after I believe.
