It's definitely a substantial cold snap here this week. I've kept my wood stove going 24 hours a day since last weekend at least, adding wood as soon as I get up, noon time while home from work and when I get home, then before turning in for the night. I've saved up oak for weather like this, some of it from '09 in my shed, as well as larger blocks of other hardwood that will leave a coal bed long enough to ignite the next round of wood.
I've got the 4630 ford inside the heated garage, rear blade on, ready for snow. It will start without the thermo-start in the mid 20's but in these temperatures hovering at 0 all night, sure makes a difference to have it inside. I'm sure this is mild weather compared to what those on our northern border deal with, but it's been awhile since we've had temps like these settle in for an extended period of time.
My LP powered 850 would never start in this weather, I would have to do the same and charge the battery + tent it off and use the LP dynaglow heater to warm it up enough. It was -7 here yesterday. Insects apparently adjust to the climate, we've had some mild winters recently. Maybe its been cold enough to be lower than what they can tolerate and it kills off a bunch of the ticks and other annoying ones.
