In theory, one reuses snow shovels from one year
to the next. Unlike sharkbites, which develop new
needs. In reality, the box stores sell a lot of
snow shovels and snow brushes each year. Sometimes,
to me.

Having well failure once in January, I found it toughest time of year to
find a plumber. With frozen pipes, it is busiest time of the year.

We had a hard freeze here in the desert some years back. Froze and
cracked my outside _Brass Pressure Vacuum Breaker Backflow Preventer
Check Valve_. Cost me $65.00 to buy and install myself.

The plumbers sometimes buy the entire stock out from the BORGS. They
stay busy for days. Some people don't even notice the valve is
leaking until they get a water bill the following month.

My pool pump motor has an anti-freeze feature that starts the pump
between 40°F 32°F. Keeps the water circulating to help prevent
freezing.

The PVB gets covered every time we get a freeze warning

A few years ago I had some roots in my sewer and decided to get a free
estimate that included a scope. The guy that ran the camera told me that
the winter weather determines their busiest time of the year.

When it's cold and snowy like this year, frozen pipes make winter their
busiest season. Mild winters with little snow cause more roots to seek
water wherever they can find it, so spring becomes their busiest season.
Cold, but little snow, keeps them busy in both winter and spring with
frozen pipes in the winter and roots in the spring.
