[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1773046, member: 42782"] I remember the 3 week central Texas freeze of the 1980s. First it snowed a few inches then an ice storm froze it over and the temp stayed in the low teens for weeks. All hoses and pipes froze and the electricity out. My cowboy friend (now husband) would go out on his tractor with an ax several times a day to the troughs which were quickly sucked dry and then to the tanks (ponds) with his ax. At my place I would ax the troughs, the horses would drink it down then I'd chop out to the next level. I was down to the last few inches when it finally thawed. I went to Home Despot to get PVC fitting that had busted. Sold out. The isles were full of grumpy dirty smelly people with their hair stringing down in their faces. [/QUOTE]
