Freezing temperatures lasting 48 to 72 hours pose serious risks to rural, farm, and ranch properties, where water systems and infrastructure are often more exposed and extensive. Pipes, water lines, and irrigation systems that normally don’t freeze in your area can be vulnerable. Taking early precautions is essential to protect your water supply, livestock, and equipment.

# # Essential Preparations for Rural, Farm, and Ranch Settings

- **Keep Water Flowing:** Allow faucets, troughs, and hydrants to drip or run slowly to prevent freezing in water lines and pipes.
- **Insulate Exposed Pipes and Lines:** Use foam pipe insulation, heat tape, or wraps on all exposed water pipes, including those in barns, outbuildings, and irrigation systems.
- **Protect Water Sources:** Cover and insulate wells, pumps, and water tanks. Use heated water buckets or tank heaters for livestock water.
- **Use Heaters in Critical Areas:** Place safe, electric or propane heaters in barns, livestock shelters, and pump houses to maintain warmth around pipes and animals.
- **Drain and Winterize Irrigation Systems:** Blow out irrigation lines or drain them completely to avoid freeze damage.
- **Seal Drafts and Openings:** Close vents, windows, and doors in buildings where water lines run to reduce cold air infiltration.
- **Prepare Livestock:** Provide extra bedding and shelter to help animals withstand cold stress. Ensure water sources are accessible and unfrozen.
- **Have Emergency Supplies Ready:** Stockpile water, feed, fuel, and backup heating sources in case of power outages or system failures.
- **Know Your Shutoff Points:** Locate and label main water shutoff valves for buildings, wells, and irrigation to quickly stop flow if pipes freeze or burst.

By implementing these measures, rural and agricultural operations can reduce the risk of costly damage and maintain essential water supplies during prolonged freezing conditions. Early preparation is key to keeping your farm or ranch running smoothly through cold snaps.

Winterize those wells now. Extended freezing temperatures will cause underground pipes to freeze and makes it difficult to thaw out. Use freeze misers, heat lamps and trickle hoses to keep underground from freezing.

The much talked about arctic air mass is still on schedule to impact the Panhandles this weekend. At this time temperatures are expected to plummet as much as 20 to 30 degrees in the 24 hours that passes between the cold front. This event will also be follow by chances of precipitation over the weekend with latest seeing 30 to 50% chance of some amount of accumulation.
