...and our water is currently in the process of being unfrozen. It's not even technically Winter yet.

Laurie, stay warm! Still got what, at least 3 months to go...
You betcha, it gets below freezing in Texas. Not a lot of snow where I was in central Texas but ice storms are pretty common. The default is always back to warm/hot, it never stays cold.Originally Posted by pushylady

My sister Linda told me the same thing about 3 months ago, saying it would be wetter and colder here = snow.Originally Posted by LDG

And Gary said this was going to be the coldest Winter in decades. Why does he always have to be right?
Texas is BIG, so it does have desert, prairies, and plains; but also the hill country, many lakes, piney woods forest, and the Gulf coast.Originally Posted by pushylady
lots of skiing then!
I had know idea that Texas could get so cold; I always imagine a desert type of climate.
Mine have frozen once, but there have been pipes that burst in the neighborhood in the past. We always drip ours because the cost to fix burst pipes is more than I want to spend! We forgot to drip it one night earlier this year and woke up to frozen pipes!Originally Posted by EnzoLeya
Why do your pipes freeze in NY NW or SC?
