All of our hydrants are direct into the ground, so as long as we unhook the hoses, the hydrants are good. And yes, I drain the water out of the hoses, in case I need to use them when it is below freezing to put out a grass fire.
We have to have our sprinklers blown out and all kinds of yard and garden winter preparation. It was so much easier in California. What did I do to get my yard ready for winter in California? Nothing!

I put those styrofoam covers over the spigots in case we get a hard freeze. Being in Central Texas tho, it doesn’t happen very often.

Ours is mostly self draining; however, hooking the air compressor to the manifold and opening each circuit makes for a quick job…

Done here in Chicago, even though it’s 64 degrees here today. I don’t want to wait though, it can change in a heartbeat.

94 degrees here in wintry SoCal. Almost sweated to death walking down the street to vote.
