I notice the low temp in the next few days may get down to the mid 20's.
I'm thinking about my sprinkler system, washer in the garage, etc.
Thanks ahead for your insights and experiences.

My lawn care company just stopped by to turn off the water to the sprinkler system and drain the back-flow. The brass part of the back-flow has a high risk of freezing and breaking. Normally most of their customers have insulated covers over the back-flow and the above ground pipes are insulated. They do not purge the system of water as we would in the North. Tonight is scheduled to be a hard freeze.
