It has been plenty cold the last couple of mornings. Tuesday morning it was -1 when I left for work (that left several more hours for cooling down and when I checked Hillsboro's temp at 7, it was -3. Hillsboro is usually warmer than we are). Tuesday I'm sure it never got out of the single digits at home since when I left work it was only 10 degrees then when I left class, it was 2 degrees.
Yesterday morning it was -7 when I left for work. At that point, the oil was jelling in the fuel filter and the fuel line. WS stayed had to work on the tank before he could go to work. First, he removed the fuel filter, but the cup wouldn't fill up as the fuel was gelling in the line. Then he went into town and got lots of antifreeze for the oil (like Heat for gas tanks). Once he got that mixed in, the oil started running and WS left for work a couple of hours late. To illustrate the temperature gradient between home and work, when I got to work, it was a balmy 4 degrees!
This morning it is obviously inthe negative numbers again and this region isn't supposed to get above the single digits. Tomorrow morning is supposed to be the same. then we are looking for 40's for the weekend (although a couple of days ago they said 50's - by the time the weekend arrives it might change to 20's, but we'll take it).
At least with the antifreeze in the tank, the heater is running smoothly again.
It.s been really really cold here in Nashua too!
