Today 4am 11 degrees the sump pump alarm goes off. Frozen hose changing time. !n 16 years here we have never had to worry about this until Jan or Feb. Took about 35 minutes because I didn't have things ready and everything was frozen hard. Bad way to start the day!

I left my hose attached..I'm worried about that now. I left numerous other things out there too, though I did bring my patio furniture inside around Halloween.

It's very early for a hard freeze. At least the alarm worked.

Not bragging, just trying to learn...

Would this be from the pipe to some place on your property? I have PVC all the way to a backyard sewer.

Out in the country so no sewers. The way our property is setup pumping the water to the front ditch works best. Used to work great except for Jan and Feb. Put a different hose on and go a different way with a shorter run and help from gravity for winter. Not this fucking year!

I thought you were being nice. Whatever. Got my gear on going for the first crazy cold walk of the year. This morning sucked but I love living in the country. Time to go see some deer.

Probably the only time I'll ever miss living there is when it snows like a motherfucker like this; it's the perfect excuse to do absolutely nothing for several days on end.
