Per, yep anytime after -45 you can have trouble with propane freezing off, and thing's get brittle. Old timer's talk of -60, the coldest I have ever seen (so far was -54
Everbody want's to settle in at the end of the road by a nice little crick, but when your 3 to 5 degree's colder than most of your niegbor's........  |
I hear you about the building location. We also built at the end of the road nestled down on the creek. Sometimes it's 10 degrees colder than the neighbours.
But I figure if you haven't heard trees booming or heard the cow turds tinkle when kicked across the ground you haven't experienced winter.
I've seen it -63C, don't know what that is in foreignheit but I'm guessing damn cold. When you can spit in the air and it goes off like a fire cracker before it hits the ground it's too cold.
Only -38C this morning, I'll count my blessings.

I guess I shouldn't even whine- only -25 here with 10-15 mph winds and a chill factor of about 50 Below...
This severe cold is supposed to hang on us for a couple of more days..
