99 that's insane. I turned off the hose from inside the other day, I still have to air out the line though. I want to see if I can find a 1/2 copper fitting that has a quick connect for an air compressor, so I can hook it up and run it for a few hours. There always seems to be enough residual water left in the line that it freezes. Even though it's a "frost free" valve the cold just travels the whole length and it freezes past the valve section. So far we did not get below zero temperature though, it's a slightly warmer than normal September. A bit of a morning frost but that's about it.
Though tbh, anything past say, -25, all feels the same. If there's no wind it's actually not that bad. I walked to school in -50 when I was in high school. There was zero wind, I did not even realize it was cold till I got to school and found out it was cancelled since the buses would not start. Diesel turns into a gel at those temps. Walked back home, day off! That's one thing I do miss from school, it's snow days. Those did not exist in college and definitively do not at work.
