Powerstroke Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I thought about turning on my sprinklers today. I didn't, but just because the air gets down to 20's doesn't mean the ground will freeze. Any outside spigots and water should be more than safe in the southern half of the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewey1 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Record low for the month of april in minnesota is -20. Be carefull. Back flow poppet kits are not cheap this time of year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 North metro is forecasted to be below freezing all next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer01 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 We've been turning systems on for the past two weeks. Cover up the backflow with old blankets or drain them if the temps make it that low. My concerns are with the slippery sidewalks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LwnmwnMan2 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yes, those are options. Or just wait until spring actually arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LwnmwnMan2 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I started putting it down this week on some properties. I'm still not in a huge hurry as even at the end of next week highs are still only mid 50's.Go ahead and apply.It's going to be an odd year, and if you've had bad CG in the past, you'll want to be ahead of the game., I guess.

Have enough for a 2nd application in a few weeks - in case the timing's off. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
