I have a fuel oil tank and when it was just filled I had them put deicer in it. Also put the goodies in both cars in the last couple days. Come on March! Or a great nor'easter.

look at the bright side, no mosquitoes, snakes, yellow jackets, ticks or chiggers! having said that, I can deal with them pretty darn well compared to the bad cold. hope you all keep warm and all of that, vehicles remain in good working order as well as water lines and heat in homes. come on spring!

It's beautiful where I'm at in Arizona, just beautiful. But it won't be long before I can cook breakfast on the sidewalk!

so colder than -20F you are at less than the approx pressure your regulator on the wall outside your home is set at to deliver enough fuel for a full load use. (like water heater and furnace with stove on all at once) below that things go south until -44 when the propane is too lazy to leave the tank. This an issue of actual temp, the wind just gets you to that number faster.

I have a hole in the knee of my jeans. That minus 20 or whatever it is , likes to find it...
I cut the other leg of my jeans off high due to a missing leg.
Going to need to break out a blanket pin to patch that openings draft pretty soon if it gets any colder. :laughing7:

A dry scratchy eye corner seems to be the worst affect outside so far....
