My wife retired this summer (I've been retired for longer) and thus we are now free to stay at our place on Rattlesnake Island much deeper into the autumn months. Our plan is to remain on the island until Nov 1 (I'd like to carve a Jack-O-Lantern on the island to celebrate Halloween). In looking at NOAA there are two evenings over the coming weekend that are forecast to drop down to freezing overnight.....is this a concern (my lake water plumbing is exposed to the elements under the house as well). Will temps potentially in the high 20s not generate the "hard freeze" that you're talking about?
