Time to winterize again :)

In the mid 70's today.. dropping down to the mid 20's Tuesday with highs in the 30's. Got my winterizing down to 35 mins now, solo with a hand pump. I had left my low point drains open for 2 weeks and my hot water tank was still completely full from our last trip. I know some have had luck draining the hot water tank the easy way, not me

Must depend on the plumbing design. Our low point drains are within a couple feet of the heater, and opening the pop off valve(?) and drains will empty the water heater too.

Aw nutz...

We're just coming back from a little Spring Break trip to WI.
Rainy, grey skies and chilly. I was hoping we could get some Colorado Sunshine for a few days.

hehehe, I think this was for me?

I'm up in Denver. 73 right now. Wednesday its getting down to 22 and the high on Tuesday is supposed to be 45, so I'm thinking it will be below 32 long enough, and by a big enough margin to just re-winterize again and sleep well.

Every day the forecast for this winter storm coming in changes. Looks like with the latest forecast the highs are a little higher, and the lows a little lower.

If my camper wasnt in storage 40 minutes from the house, I'd just blow the system out with air and call it good.

Today is **perfect**. Gotta love CO. This freaky weather keeps some (but not enough) of the riff raff out.
