...turning water back on?

[SAB1]

Ok. I held back and didnt turn on the water. I am ready to flip the switch but held back figuring the black plastic pipe under the camp could potentially freeze. It just seems a bit early so for all you folks that went for it, if you dont mind, post your results over the next 2 weeks if your basically a weekend user in a seasonal camp and let us know if you had any breaks. Thanks.

It is going to be down into the teens for over night lows this week.
Or as they said on the news, plant killing weather.
Looks like late winter early spring weather returns for a couple of weeks anyways.

Went up on Saturday with the intention of opening things up.
For the first time, had 2 pipes burst and the sprayer nozzle on the kitchen sing blew. Though I drained everything like I always have, I obviously didn't drain everything well enough!

We had a time when there was a bit of water in the K-1 line that froze at an elbow. Furnace shut off and we had all kinds of problems. Make sure you check the toilet. I thought ours was ok but found it broken inside at the s-trap. Next camp is going to have all plastic tubing.

Turned mine on last week... and just got back from the cottage, (lucky it's only 6 miles from the house..) after turning all the faucets, inside and out, to a trickle. Turned the heat on to 50.

What weather forecast are you all reading?? I see nothing in the teens for the next 10 days??... http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...rd+NH+USNH0261 The coldest night being tonight with a low of 20 and highs during the day in the mid 40's. By the weekend temps will again be near 50 on Saturday and near 60 on Sunday...

Am I missing something??

Here is the NWS forecast for Alton:

Low of 18 tonight. The dew point is low at 9 degrees right now, but as long as the wind keeps blowing, and it will, the temperature will not get down that low. However, upper teens is a good forecast for tonight's low. The lake is at 40 degrees, so if the wind is off the water and you are close to the water, it will be a lot warmer, but for most it should get below 20.

Gets a bit warmer each night after that!
