While the winter of 2015-2016 was relatively mild in Lake Arlington everyone who lived in the area at the time remembers the brutal winter of 2014-2015.

Some of the details:

• 40 days with the low temperature at or below freezing, this is well above average
• 6 of 7 days with at least a trace of snow, sleet, freezing rain, or freezing drizzle from February 22-28
• Up to 7 inches of snow accumulation reported during the Winter Storm of March 4-5

Freezing temperatures can lead to frozen pipes which can lead to water damage.
