High today is supposed to be +11F. Currently -2F. Supposed to warm up to a balmy +37F tomorrow before dropping to a low of 2F.

Back to greasing, I keep my grease gun in the garage on the house, which is heated (normally keep it at about 50F). If I have to grease in winter (usually a couple of times) I pull my tractor in the heated garage and let it sit for half a day before I try and get any grease in the zerks. It really depends on how much snow we get, and how often I have to use the tractor. Last winter we got diddly-squat for snow.

I use a low temp lithium-synthetic grease for zerks and pins.

That warm day was very nice until the winds came. It ended up breaking the warmest December day EVER.

Who worries about the weather? I live in Florida and if you don't like our weather, wait a couple hours and it will change! Winter is heater in the morning and a/c in the afternoon!

Enjoy it. Never know when the next ice age could come. One was predicted in the late 70s.

Good thing they were able to avert it. Maybe they were too successful? :eek:
