Good morning, a chilly 15F here heading to 23F. Have the weekend off so I am going to take some time and head to my mothers house to help my sister sort through more stuff. Need to get everything out so my sister can sell the place.

24 right now and might hi 30 mid day. The kicker is the wind and we are looking at wind speeds up to 10 MPH
good day to take it easy and wait it out. Going to warm up on Monday so they say.
Tonight the temps in our area will be in the teens and single digits up north, ain’t winter yet but sure feels like it!

Good morning! 63˚ and foggy and will top out at 71˚ this afternoon when the rains start.
Yesterday was a warm and cloudy day hitting 70˚, so I grappled up some large rocks and made a retaining wall at the beginning of a gully, hopeful this will stop it from growing.

18 this morning and headed to 47 today. Nice daily warmup there. No wind either.

Need to fix fence so cattle can be moved to greener pastures without hay. Looks like it may take a few hours.

David. Even summer deisel shouldn't gel till the teens then it will go back to a liquid after it warms up. I run the white Power Service. If I forget to add it before it gets cold then I will add to the tank and just let tractor run at about 1000-1200rpms for about 10-15 min. There is enough motion from the fuel pump to mix it. A deisel will return 1/2-2/3 of the fuel they pump back to the tank anyways. Then for a gas jug I just add it and shake. Best use I have found for new EPA lids. I don't have to worry about spilling any. My 300 gal gravity tank just gets it poured in if I forget to add before he fills it up.
Also if parked outside. Turn the injector pump to the south in a sunny spot. The sun will keep it thawed also.

David, I don't use any additives in my bota, and I live in Michigan. I do try to keep the tank full, so I don't get condensation in there. It starts at -15F here, with no heater on it. A friend of mine is a trucker, been running diesels for 30+ years, never has used any this stuff.

Cold here this am. Getting all the way to 50 by sunday. I am on my 3rd cup of coffee, so I need to get going!!!

28º here this morning in GA, but getting to mid 60s today! Great. And, me builder boys finally came this morning to finish me screen room deck and addition to carport. Whew, be glad when that work is done! It's always something, now, I'll need a pole barn to put travel trailer under since it won't fit with height of new carport extension... A man cain't have too many roofs on his place to keep his junque under.

David MFW: I would worry more about algae getting started in your fuel tank than gelling in your location--assuming a tank of fuel lasts you several months sometimes.

Further north we have summer and winter blends of #2 diesel. The fuel stations switch over seasonally. You could ask where you purchase your fuel if you are getting a winter blend.

This looks like good info on the gelling subject:

Speaking of gelling diesel, y'all boys up in COLD country, can ye just try to run ye tractors in winter too? I know ye've already thought of this of course, but seems that's really the best thing to do. Even down here in fairly warm country, mine sits too long sometimes.

Good Morning. 1050, sunny, 64F with 57% humidity. Forecast high of 67F with 0% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 43F tonight. Our low was 33F, but by the time I walked over to Mamma's to cook her some breakfast, it was quite nice out. It looks like rain on Sunday and Monday.

There is a big weather event taking place over Siberia now that will adversely effect our weather in about two weeks or so. Couple that with a mild ElNino and you get very cold and stormy conditions over two thirds of the good ole USA. This cold may be very severe.

Larro think you're really going to be cold and soon

At least it could wait until winter gets here, just out of respect to the calendar. Not that I'm ever happy about really cold weather.

Today is Friday so I'll be going in to work early. As much as I complained about it being a slow summer, working all seven nights this week doesn't leave much time to get anything done around the house.

Glad they moved the Bills game. Those guys have too much to worry about to let a ballgame take away from them trying to get their lives back to normal. Warm thought to all effected by that crazy snowfall.

Hope everyone is having a good day,

Larro
