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?
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.
Assuming there's no sprinkler blowout services available anywhere in the tine?

Same. Still hear that damn rocky top song in my head to this day.
No need to blow out your entire system. That's only a concern if the ground freezes, and we don't experience that level of cold.
Closed the in ground valve and the one you drew an arrow on but nothing came out of the nipple. Guess there wasn't enough in the line.
I was in Dallas with my parents that weekend, and went to the game with my dad. I was drunk by halftime, hangover hit in the car on the drive home afterwards. Got home, sobered up and rallied, and went out with a friend and got hammered again. What an awful game.aTm2004 said:

Can't say that I've ever thought of that Christmas Eve snow and how awesome it was then thought, yeah, that would've been fun but actually sucked because we got our ass kicked by Tennessee…..
Womp womp left for work today. I'll keep an eye on wx and have my wife mess with that if we see any threatening Temps. Thanks.
If you have a cutoff in the ground just close it and open the two small drain valves. Do not close off the larger ball valves on the assembly…I've seen the metal housing crack due to water being trapped in the valve.
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

I don't know about Icepocalypse...but Montgomery County may be washing away tonight
Never heard thunder like I did at 4am
Heard it at 4:15, knew my 6 year old girl was on her way.
3 minutes later, right on cue.

100% same. Remember seeing 4:15 on the clock. Amazed my 3 y/o and 6 y/o didn't wake up
GFS model forecast for accumulating snow between now and 12/27.

All 48 of the continental US states are forecast to receive snow.
We are all gonna freeze to death from all of this global warming. 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/6hrUlyQTk1
The signals for SIGNIFICANTLY below normal temperatures coming in from the GFS, Euro, and Canadian ensemble data today is incredible. And these are averages of dozens of runs, not a single model output, which is even more telling. 🥶🥶#INwx #ILwx #OHwx #MIwx #WIwx #winter #snow pic.twitter.com/8nbf7skj8F

Those are blended ensembles over a multi day period.
I'm an energy trader as a hobby and a long term weather watcher from September thru March.
There are a lot of extreme ensemble members on the table across all models. Right now, our range could be 10F below normal to 45 below.
The 500mb pattern is ripe and if we get a coastal low around the 17th and many are starting to model that, it's going to blow open the Arctic doors and dump into the Gulf.
The analog years on the CPC map is a who's who of Winter weather events along the gulf coast.
I'm not Houston proper but north of y'all in Montgomery County.
Interesting. Keep us updated!

Yay. Busted pipes here we come. Cold weather without snow is a waste.

Euro control run with an I-10 snow next week. Has not snowed before Christmas since 2004 in these areas ( Widespread coastal Texas White Christmas)

So, is this thread a massive troll job, or is this truly a possibility? I'm not seeing it anywhere else in terms of local forecasters.
Still over a week out. May as well be looking at a magic 8 ball. If it's still looking like that by the end of this week, watch out.
