Frozen Rain Barrel!

15 years ago

Shoot! I was glad for the rain on Friday. I was even out planting still more bulbs on Saturday, but it was not until today that I thought about the rain barrel. And darn it, if it is not full and frozen. The barrel is on the East side of the house, which gets a good amount of sun. Though, looking at the weather forecast, I am not sure if low forties for daytime highs will be enough to melt my 55 gallon block of ice. Luckily, the attached hose nozzle still opens, so anything that might melt can drain out.

Anyone else forget to drain their rain barrel? Any bright ideas to thaw it out or how to best deal with it for the winter?
