    I'm taking my chances. I'm so ready for green grass - I've been hose watering for about 2 weeks and I got the in-ground sprinklers going on Tuesday. I really don't think this weekend's *potential* snow is going to freeze the ground 12" down. I'll just make sure the backflow preventer is cleared out before it freezes.

    I appreciate your sig line BTW.

    I think it will be safe for irrigation systems this weekend.

    Been watering the ol ladies lawn too. Gotta lay some sod down as well. Yay.

    Our sod didn't get much of a chance to get healthy last year because it was planted late in the season and it was incredibly hot with watering restrictions for a few weeks, and then it froze very early. I'm hoping by getting started early I can get the grass healthy enough for the kiddo to play on by June. If it looks like we're going to have a hard freeze, I'll drain the system. In Colorado, it's very possible to have a hard freeze well into May or even June, depending on your elevation. I didn't blow my sprinklers out this winter and everything worked fine when I fired them up this week.

    So McJunior, am I thinking on the right track? I'm no landscaper, I just played one for a summer in high school.

    There's no faster way to ruin your day than getting a bad peanut in the last peanut M&M you eat from the bag. That NASTY taste just sticks with you.

    And then you think to yourself, what if I had eaten the GREEN one last...

    I think we're good now. Sunday night is supposed to drop below freezing, but the ground is warm, so I figure I'm okay.
