in woods, still can see drain freezing. I mean if my water does why wouldnt the drain? Im still debating leaving anything running tonite, concrete slab. But Im almost a mile from meter and several faucets on the way.
Once it’s underground, things warm up very quickly. It just doesn’t freeze.
it depends on how far underground.
It gets really cold here, winters can hard freeze. The frost line is considered three feet. I have pressurized pipes near the house about a foot down, they don’t freeze, and they probably won’t. It doesn’t take much distance to keep it at bay. I haven’t really been following how cold you are and for how long, the wind, and what the daytime highs are like, but if water’s running, it’s not freezing. Your house has to be convecting out some heat as well.
