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. I would actually worry about the water in the vertical part. There is no guarantee opening the valve will provide room for any ice that might expand. See about adding a bleeder that you can place near the ground that you could use to drain the line or back by where it taps into the house supply. Those might be easy to add like a tap for a supply line for an ice maker on a fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only 3" these days code for buried utility lines here is min 24". Water meters are set to 18" for frost line and service lines are min 3'. I've seen plenty that arent to code and that goes for water to cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are in a hurry we lay them side by side . Thats a common thing to see. especially when the new water pipe is pvc. It helps cause you can then use the electric line to locate both in case you need to find them again if digging 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 HAPPY WEATHER PERSONS DAY! I think everyone on this board kinda qualifies, but special thanks to the professional civil servants at NOAA and the NWS that work tirelessly to keep us safe. Also big shoutout to the key contributors to this board that keep us informed, educated and entertained! from Wikipedia... National Weatherperson's Day, also known as National Weatherman's Day, is observed on February 5 primarily in the United States.[1] It recognizes individuals in the fields of meteorology, weather forecastingand broadcast meteorology, as well as volunteer storm spotters and observers. It is observed on the birthday of John Jeffries, one of the United States' first weather observers who took daily measurements starting in 1774. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I visited my friends doing the OWLeS project in upstate NY in the winter of 2013-14. They were housed off the finger lakes (Lake Seneca) in Penn Yan, NY. It snowed everyday while I was up there and it was the fluffiest damn snow I've ever seen. They used to just take a big broom and clear the walk ways. I was like, "Man, now that's what I'm talking about!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it can, with the rates being advertised I think it will be a nice hit for someone. Was just commenting that it may tickle 60 somewhere today.
