PSA to all pool owners. Don't forget to keep your pump running during these bitterly cold temperatures expected later this week. This helps prevent your plumbing from freezing. Wishing all a very Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS COLD WAVE (Sunday evening update): A bitterly cold, Arctic airmass will invade the Deep South Thursday night, and will persist through the Christmas weekend. Here are some important points as of Sunday morning:
*From a historical perspective, the last time temperatures reached the single digits in Birmingham during the month of December was in 1989... we dropped to 1 degree on December 23 during the peak of the cold wave. We have achieved single lows during the month of December in eight years since 1900; in 1901, 1917, 1925, 1926, 1962, 1981, 1983, and 1989. We might not reach the single digits this year, but it will be a very close call.
*This will be the coldest air in Alabama since January 2, 2018; Birmingham dropped to 11 degrees during that cold wave.
