Ok, we have all outside spigots wrapped in duvets, as well as the pool pipes and pool heater. My potted plants have been covered with a sheet since Monday night.

We do have a sprinkler system but the thing hasn't worked right since we bought the house (even after the previous owners paid $600Â to service it). That's a warranty project to follow up with in March!
