Let it snow let it snow....
Wow look at all the white stuff outside its crazy. We have had 0 snowfall until now and we got quite a bit today. If I had to guess Id say around 3 or so inches. Thats ok though because if memory serves me right ( and trust me it does ) the last winter when we had 0 snow fall my drain field froze up. Now for those of you who live in the city and probably always have, let me explain how a sewer system work in the country. You have a septic tank which collects all the waste and gray water from your home. It runs through a series of pipes into what is called a drain field. Basically this is an underground cemetary for all those lovely things we dont mention. The waste and water filter into the ground ( over a long period of time ) and everything keeps running smoothly. However if the ground freezes a solid freeze without any ground cover the drain field ceases to work properly. Which in conclusion is what happened to us 2 years ago. Not a fun thing to go through. Ill spare you the details and just end this by saying snow is good and lets hope for even more huh?
