-Pull the pipes out of the holes, empty, and heat with electric until Spring.
Or some combination of...
-Add antifreeze to the loop.
-Add pipe insulation to the parts that are above ground.
-Leave the circulation pump on 24/7. (Could loose power in a storm)
-Add a home build pump controller to circulate on a schedule.
-Add electric pipe heaters to the parts above ground.
Any further thoughts or ideas on solutions? They may still get buried in time but I have the feeling that i'll be too late as usual.

I would think all of the latter ideas .
Typically , when does it start to go below 32F , where you live ?
What kind of pipe will be exposed above ground ( PEX ? ) ?
Best of luck to you , :-)
