Spigots and freezing

Remove all garden hoses from the spigots before the temperature drops below freezing, even if you have a frost free spigot. What happens many times is the there is a fluid lock in the hose so, the water stays in the hose right up to the spigot. When that water freezes, it causes the spigot and sometimes the pipe behind the spigot to burst.

I know it's a little late in the season, but I just started this blog.
