We don't have too many very cold days here in Arkansas during the winter, but we do get below freezing often enough and sometimes have sleety rain that coats everything in a layer of ice. I've found a simple and free way to keep my "frost proof" spigots free of ice and not so stiff with cold. Feed bags do the trick!

| I cover each in four layers of feed bags. I use a paper bag first, then plastic, paper and plastic again. The layers of bags are heavy enough not to blow off in strong wind, but you could loop a bungie around the whole thing if you like. Also, keep the spigot well lubricated. |
