This is a mild climate. Nobody prepares for a freeze because they only occur 1-2 times in a decade.
I'm worried! The forecast predicts 56 degrees high, 25 degrees overnight low for the next couple of days.
I don't think I have any vegetation that would be harmed but I'm worried about outdoor water pipes. The plumbing includes runs up the water tower (no longer in use, but live) and under the eaves of the barn down to a valve for loading the orchard sprayer, all fully exposed. Plus the garden faucets typically stick 3 ft straight up out of the ground. You guys in the colder climates wouldn't build like this but here its common.
Is this 56 hi/25 low cold enough to burst pipes?
