I was born and raised in Searcy. It certainly can get cold enough to freeze and do damage. Keep an eye on the forecasts.

New to TT life also. Winterized today. Unfortunately forgot to close off the hot water heater to bypass. Is this going to create a problem if I wait until spring to flush?

Not a problem, just takes a lot of antifreeze to fill it.

Antifreeze is bad for water heaters, that's why they get bypassed.

Antifreeze won't hurt a water heater as long as you don't turn the heat on. You bypass it so you are not wasting 6 or more gallons of antifreeze.

It will corrode the anode rod.
