"In order to prevent water pipes from freezing, nurseries and farms sprinkles all night"

Sprinkles all night?

ESL, anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.197.76 (talk) 04:07, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the NOAA source says 'sprinkles'. I think they meant 'sprinklers' (source discussing sprinklers to prevent freezing). Chris857 (talk) 04:32, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source you gice discusses using sprinklers to keep plants from freezing, not water pipes. — TimL • talk 00:45, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
