Our pipes must not be as insulated as y’all’s

First thing my parents did after moving permanently to Florida was winterize their home.

The sun is shining
Sky clear, no cloud and it is beautiful blue
Light cool wind, still early in the morning
These are signs of a dry hot day.
Perfect day for the beach or sit in the chicken run with a cold drink.
I do not recommend eat food in the chicken runs as those fluffy butt dinosaurs will steal food from you.

We're getting up to a blistering 30 degrees.

Time for the beach!

Snow flurries in NSW alps and Tasmanian ski fields give locals an early Christmas present​

As bushfires rage out of control in Victoria and parts of Queensland count the cost of recent floods, residents in the NSW Snowy Mountains and Tasmania woke this morning to find snow on the ground.

The Bureau of Meteorology had forecast snow to fall above 1,700 metres in the NSW alps today, but some locals have reported sightings of snow flurries as low as Cooma at 800m elevation.

Further south, snowfields in Tasmania recorded up to 5 centimetres of snow down to 1,500 metres.

Errol Hanlon from the Thredbo Alpine Museum said snow settled on shady ground, car windscreens, back decks and some rooftops around the village.

"We definitely woke up to a snow flurry," he said.

"It's an early present for all the little kids running around in their pyjamas this morning trying to make snowballs and snowmen."

Thredbo Top Station recorded a low of -2.3 degrees Celsius just before 8am, a stark contrast to other parts of northern NSW where total fire bans have been declared.

Mr Hanlon described snowfall at this time of year as "unusual", especially given the 30-degree temperatures experienced last week.

"The climate here is as radical as the rest of Australia," he said.

"It's swings and roundabouts and it's pretty hard to predict.
"This is the first time this has happened in the last eight or nine years."

The snow season has been changing for years and snow blowers seem to be employed to kick-start things off.

According to the snow report:

Average Snow and Weather Conditions in Thredbo during December (week 4):​

The average snowfall forecast during week 4 of December for Thredbo is 0 cm. There are typically 0.0 snowy days during this week.

So abnormal then.

Stop snowing!!

My apartment complex has 10 buildings with about 125 apartments
Our pipes must not be as insulated as y’all’s because we get notices to drip the faucets when we have 3+hours of freezing temps
We have to protect pipes plants pets people in mobile
Average about every few years someone will forget and the pipes will burst

Everything (pipes etc) here is inside heated structures or insulated and wrapped with heat trace cable.

I just bought a heated garden hose for the barn - got tired of bringing my hose in and out of the heated feedroom (for the past 35 yrs) to prevent it from freezing.
