Probably won't verify, but start looking at tickets to Cancun just in case.

Were there possibly some naysayers that claimed there wouldn't be a massive winter storm?

Not to worry, folks. Wind panels and solar turbines will save us all.

Might be very cold Dec 22, but 15 days out, so, it's only slightly more valid than a guess

For Amarillo, bring bottled water any time. That sulfur taste is just terrible.

I got all this left over bleach from hurricane season. Guess I better drink it before it freezes.

Related, but I bought a home with a sprinkler system for the first time ever and will be going out of town for a while. Isn't there some stuff I need to do?

Shut off water to backflow preventer and drain it. I also wrap/cover mine. Google it - it's very easy. It probably wouldn't hurt to pour a gallon of bleach on it just in case.

Go turn off the water at the back flow preventer today, then turn the screw near it (little nipple things on the left of the image below) so the water in the lines drains/shoots out. I take an old towel and wrap it around it and then tape it on, and then cover the whole thing with a large garbage bag to keep it dry. Has worked well for 12 years and 2 houses.

Mine does a weekly test and I change the oil/plugs every June. It's running like a champ.

And to be clear, it's not the sprinkler system that makes you rich, it's being able to afford COH water to use the system.

Don't forget to close the valve underground feeding water into that apparatus, too.

I didn't...cracked the metal tubing upon restart.

Gonna be cold AF...hopefully the wind helps keep the place from smelling like cow sh** though. Wind was blowing in an unfavorable direction last time I was up there. Other than that occasional smell, and heavy cold fronts like this, I actual like Amarillo and it's a solid year round climate imo.

That damned feed lot they build west of the city not too long ago was a terrible idea. Before that, the turd smell was only occasional when the winds blew from the SW (Hereford).

The wind blows out of the west a lot up there, especially in the Spring. Just awful.

But, in terms of climate, yeah, it is pretty awesome. You get 4 seasons and dry air. I really do miss that versus the oppressive heat and humidity of Houston, but I don't have much of a desire to move back there. Too many bad memories.
