You fellers are in the banana belt. :) The highest reading I have is negatory 27. 2 other thermo's are at 28 and 29 Stay safe and thank goodness we have mostly reliable vehicles and cell phones if issues happen on the road.

Assuming your tires aren't weather-checked, have your valve-stems replaced and during your next tire rotation/replacement have someone look at your rims to see if you have rust or AL corrosion causing you to lose the "seal" between your rim and the tire bead. Depending upon the level of corrosion sometimes they can polish the rim, sometimes it needs replacement.

I'll keep that in mind. So far it's always been just a nail or screw in the tire. But seams 5o always happen the coldest times. Lol. Just bad luck I guess

Woke up this morning to it being 51 in the house. Went out to check on the 1000 gallon tank that was filled in July and it’s empty. I never use more than 500 gallons all winter so major leak somewhere. Spray checked all fittings and nothing, pressure checked main line and won’t hold pressure so it’s broke under ground somewhere. So now have copper tubing laid out from my tank to house in my backyard. Gonna be awesome to trench that in next summer while trying to dodge sprinkler system. What a great start to the week.

That sucks Skeeter.
Surprised they didn't use plastic line rather than copper for the replacement.
They used plastic when we replaced ours at the NoDak farm 6 or 7 years ago.
How far is the tank from the house? Can you hand dig it? We used to hand dig in propane lines all the time back in the day. You only need it a foot deep.
