In the 50s and early 60s in nw Arkansas, we lived on a farm that had the water well and pump. I remember Dad putting hay bales around the pump/tank and leaving a light bulb burning 24/7 to keep the tank from freezing. We did occasionally have very cold temps.

This current storm dropped our nw AR times to near 1 degree night and 9-16 degrees day temps. Today we are supposed to get into the mid 30s, the first time we’ve been above freezing in nearly a week.

Thanks!

A good, and perhaps expensive, lesson for me now.
