DFW facing 8 days of the most significant winter weather it has seen since the Super Bowl at Jerryworld 10 years ago. 4+ days without getting above freezing and mix in some winter precip and baby we got a delicious winter smoothie. My body is ready.
As a selfish note, this is a potential huge revenue driver for my pool business. Pools do not get winterized here for the most part. “Freeze protection” is a thermostat kicking pumps on to make sure they are circulating water to prevent freezing and the damage that occurs when that happens.
For the most part, freeze protection generally kicks on about 10 times a year in the middle of the night or day for a handful of hours. But 4+ days straight, all I am seeing is $$$.
Any sort of leak at the equipment pad already is going to cause problems as equipment can freeze from the outside inward at these temps for this duration, even while running. Mix in potentially some winter precip and power outages and all hell can break lose. A really cold hell, but still.
