Here's what happens when you leave your sprinklers on during a hard freeze

You could be surrounded by ice if you forget to turn your sprinklers off during a hard freeze.

Take a look at what happens when you forget to shut off your sprinkler system during a hard freeze.

What you get is something out of the movie Frozen.

At a Houston-area home, part of a tree and the lawn were left covered in ice after someone forgot to turn off the water overnight.

A spokesman for the Office of Harris County Emergency Management says that sprinklers were a primary source of road ice in the area.
