Default Re: frozen block? nnaaahhhh! well? OCD

I had a close call last year. I bought my Shabah in AZ and brought it to Colo in February. I drain everything prior to storing it. In March I started working on a few things and noticed a freeze plug was showing unpainted brass... Turns out there was sand in the block and it didn't allow all the water to drain.
I ended up just tapping the plug back in. 40hrs on the block and no problems since....

    Frozen at 30 degrees is the same frozen at 10 below. It only matters to living creatures. Machinery in storage doesn't care.
    Yep, i do remember a few of these types of 'winters' years ago.... and i still dont like them.
