Quoted: Moved to Athens TX from the KC area this spring. Have a 53 acre ranch outside of town. What do you guys do about your water service being PVC that is ~8In deep in a valve box with the pipe exposed? Should I stuff the valve box with fiberglass insulation? Same with outdoor silcocks. Drip those or wrap and cover them? I grew up in Nebraska and lived in KS for 25 years, we shut off and blow out any exposed pipe like this. Water service is ~100 yards from the house. Can’t find the water shutoff to the home or out building. Oh, and I am currently 12 hours away in Nebraska. Thank you. View Quote The temperature will just take a bounce over night. The ground temperature isn’t that cold. All I ever do is wrap the valves with a rag. |

Quoted: For everyone that posts here not from Texas, I will bang their mom…. Or if that’s out of the question their SO. Maybe I should have put that in the OP. View Quote Maybe you should have posted in the TX forum. Lots of pussies for you to fuck there since you seem pretty hard up. Also if it doesn't start with a minus sign, it's not that cold. For instance, it's -2F (-15 wind chill) but it's supposed to cool off later this evening, closer to -20F. |

Quoted: Not bragging, I actually love the cold weather. My jest was aimed more at us Floridians that think its freezing anytime the temp drops below 70. lol View Quote Worked in Florida for about 5 years. I always laughed my ass off at the people in huge down parkas all huddled together when it got to around 40°-45°. I would be driving to work with the windows down, wearing short sleeves and cargo shorts. The boss and the office girl would yell at me as soon as I came through the door to go home and change into some winter clothes. I was finally comfortable after the awful 7am 80° mornings with 90% humidity in the summer. People there acted like it was Siberia when it gets below 50° |

I will burn the bodies of my enemies before I perish in the cold!!!!!!

Why are there so many dirty Non-Texans posting in a Texans only thread?

I love cold weather... I'm sure I have Scandinavian blood in me!
(except that I'm a short guy who's hair was black when he had it...) My palms trees and plumeria are what are going to suffer |

I can’t decide whether to pick up a ham beast at the local pub for survival warmth or Ted Cruz to Mexico. Never been so scared.

Tennesseans could save you from the Mexicans... But not the cold

We had 5°F here 2 years ago in Austin. So I know my house is good down to at least 5°F. I am not concerned.
