Winter in the Fort Worth area this year has been a roller coaster. We have had to endure some extremely cold temperatures and have many of us looking forward to an early spring. Not that the days are that bad but many of us would rather not have to put on a winter coat to take the dog for a walk. Winter is generally miserable if you have to be outside and most of us tend to spend the cold winter nights indoors. It is a good reminder to keep your pets inside on those cold nights. Your pets are one thing what about your home’s infrastructure, like the septic tank? Regardless of where you are located, your septic system can freeze up, although unlikely in our climate, it can still happen. Look at the poor alligators down in Florida, sticking their noses out of the water so they can breathe when the water freezes over. The last thing that the Floridians expected this year was iced over alligator ponds, but that is what happens when you have a super bomb storm, the likes of which have never been seen in the last thousand years.
