My back complains when I stand for a long time, or bend over for a long time, or shovel... Hubby says that my aches and pains are caused by too many birthday candles. And, he's right! A bit of rest, and I'm ready to go at it again.

I went to the front door to see off a friend this evening and saw frost forming on the cars already. Thought that was dang cold until I came here to this thread... It's feeling positively HOT by us by comparison! You all stay safe and warm over there!

Regulator froze on the propane tank. The wind blowing horizontal rain then ice and snow got under the cover and froze up the regulator. Our house was COLD this morning. It took me a little time to diagnose the problem but was an easy fix. I dumped a pitcher of hot water on the regulator and reset the furnace and we got heat again. I insulated the cover, so hopefully we don't have anymore problems. I didn't want to insulate the regulator because I believe it needs to breathe. @Chic Rustler could you please verify.

Thanks


Yep. Needs to be able to vent.

Make sure its full. Cold temps drop pressure as well.
