Happy New Year, Rocky!!! When we lived in FL, we didn't have to worry about winterizing our pools. However this is excellent advice for your area.

Good evening Rocky,

We do get some freezing temperatures in Austin and I have a freeze protector that kicks in and keeps my pool running if the temperatures dip. I also have a cover which helps keeps the temperature warmer. Good post!

These are really good tips for people who have a pool at their home.  I have never had an interest in having a pool at my home, haha.
