Here in south Texas (Houston) we don’t get much COLD weather. We are looking at LOW temps all this week and it has people freaking out a little. Anything under 40 and we are in trouble, if it freezes we have major problems and the last time we got ice, school was canceled.
But as true Texans, even at Walmart people are resourceful! Got extra swim noodles?? Wrap your pipes with them! Hey, I bet you readers in Michigan don’t have swim noodles stocked this time of year! That being said, you probably are able to drive in ice though!
Here in Upper Michigan, where its remote, its common to drive across Lake Superior to the next town. Not only does it save time, it saves gas;)
Resourceful AND fun!

it sound like fun and dangerous at the same time. You got to love Michigan and how pretty it get up north in the winter.
we use these in s.ill where it get really cold in the winter
That is a good ideal about the Noddles.
In South Dakota, our pipes are BUILT for winter.
Being from MN and my parents being former snowbirds (MN in summer TX in winter) they got a kick out of this post. Pool noodles in Jan isn’t something we see.
You are right, I would have a hard time finding noodles like that here in MI, and I can drive in ice, snow and pretty much blizzards!
LOL…Im in Huffman, Tx (NorthEast Houston) and we wrapped our pipes in these last night! It got down to about 25 degrees!
