Reply to I get to experience -30 degrees for the first time this coming Saturday. Do I need to be concerned with my well freezing? It’s a standard drilled well with casing and cap. Any advise from my northern friends? Thanks! by MicasNoggin
It’s windchill, so less to worry about. Real temp won’t be that bad

DUDE !! W T A F ?!?!? So... Just so I am clear... Today I bought 10 gallons of K1 $63.59. AND 20 bags of premium wood pellets. $138.40, All because you HAD to get a damn filling ?!?!?!?
Alexa, set a reminder that if my pipes freeze that u/DidDunMegasploded is to blame

Guys, I'm really sorry, let me explain...see, I'm getting a cavity filled in a couple days and the winter weather often gets skewed so that it snows or it gets super chilly around the time that I have to go out, because the world hates me that much and it wants to drag everyone down with it.
My deepest apologies if any of your pipes burst during this cold weather. I just really need this cavity filled and I haven't had time to send an appeal to Mother Nature yet.
(and just in case it wasn't obvious, /j)

It recharges the battery and moves the oils and fluid around. So I’ve been told by people who live in Minnesota and that’s just what they do

At Zero degrees, a battery has about 70% of its starting power
At -30 degrees, a battery has about 20% of its starting power
Also, the amount of power needed to crank an engine increases as the temperature drops. Will just leaving your car in the cold have little to no impact, yeah probably, but if you need it it's best to have been prepared by having the engine and battery warmed up.

And a wool blanket too if you can spare one for your car. And always keep your car over 1/4 of a tank

>Also, even if you aren’t planning to go anywhere, start your vehicle and let it run for 15 minutes or so every day
Why?

No. If you have cw piping near walls you can open tap slightly to keep a flow of water- can minimize potential for pipes freezing. If you have baseboard heat (usually against outer walls) and it doesn’t have antifreeze, make sure to keep the heat running part of the night.

If you’re in Knox County you’ll want the BDN. It’s one of the last locally, family owned newspapers in the country :( Worth supporting.

Don’t spend too long out there, but try to go out and listen for trees cracking. Sometimes if you catch them just right the extreme cold will freeze them and they crack loudly.
