Frost In The Ground
30" of frost on one job Friday, 24" on another. How are you making out?

Re: Frost In The Ground
No frost in Colorado Springs again. We do our water lines down 6ft. for frost but havn't had any for years. No snow either. The mountains are getting dumped on but nothing here.

Re: Frost In The Ground
JMIC,
We are only 50 miles due north. The frost is in the exposed areas and disturbed ground. It was cold feeling today, snow flurries all day. Spring? Nick |

Re: Frost In The GroundQuote:
I know exactly where you are, nice area there. I use to go through there all the time on my way up to Canada snowmobiling. I also know there can be a pretty big difference in temps in these 50 miles. Hopefully the nice weather will shortly be with us and we'll be able to make some headway. Take care! Perforated pipe.....I'll be damned!

Re: Frost In The Ground
Nick,
No signs of any frost left in the ground here. How about up in the northern corner of the state, any frost left where you are?

Re: Frost In The Ground
Joe,
yesterday I went over to a job we left in December and the work is on the north side. My bar went in 6" and that was it. I don't think its to hard. It should be gone soon. Every where the sun hits the ground its gone. Almost got to shirt sleeves today. Nick |

I walked with the owner around back of his house, there were two piles of snow! stuck a bar in the ground. It's Frozen! Nick Last edited by denick; 04-08-2006 at 03:15 PM. |
