Minus 2 tonight
« on: December 14, 2009, 06:28:09 pm »
Even the sunny south-east  ;D

Our local forecast is for wide spread frost, so time to remember what we did last year to protect our systems.

I've disconnected my tank-to-pump pipe and tied it up to the roof of the van.  That way only about a couple of feet can freeze.  I also disconnected  my pump-to-hosereel pipe, laid it down on the road and ran the pump until no more water came out, hopefully there's not enough left in it to freeze the pump.

The hosereel is in my shed, next to my greenhouse heater with frost-stat   (To protect my 40-40 membrane)  ;)

Forecast says -1 here in Guildford. Might not have to put the heater in van. Will put blanket on 4040 though.

if the sky is clear, and you can see all the stars, and there is half a moon, guaranteed there is frost, true
