Does your daylight drain freeze?

[GR14]

For those of you in the cold climates with daylight floor drains, does it ever freeze up or is it not an issue?

You should have the correct amount of fall on pipe. Water in, water out, should not have anything in pipe to freeze.

If it does freeze around here its also dry/dry snow and therefore not an issue. You might want to list your location as the north Shore of superior might have much different considerations than north Georgia.

True ! Properly pitched, the water should exit to a lower area before it has time to freeze.

Mine goes from the downspouts on the corner of the house over 200 feet into the woods.
It takes the sump pump also.
I made sure I had a slope all the way.
No problems.
The 4 inch pipe stays dry.

I am in IL, 2 miles from WI

"Most of the population of Ontario lives south of me. "
Interesting fact!
Like Hawaii and Mexico City are at the same latitude.

When we had a Sales meeting in Jamaica I could not convince the girl making the travel arrangements that it would be shorter and faster to bring our Hawaii salesman directly east through Mexico City than route him to Chicago and down.
When I told him the story in Jamaica, he got on the phone and changed his return.
In the end it was over 20 hours of flight time saved.

Globes are a forgotten tool.

Try and tell somebody that South America is east of NYC.
