Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Drinking lots of hot coffee. 3° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 25° with mix of sun and clouds. When I first got up this morning digital thermometer read 1°. Checked other thermometers outside. They gave similar low temperatures. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I am now sure it's time to head south. Need tomorrows thaw to get things ready.
Best, safe wishes for our friends along SE coast of the great lakes.
Good Morning All

20F. High of 27F forecast. Could be our first day below freezing.

I have an 8am dentist appointment. That's too early.

Have a good Friday!

we are expecting some flurries today with temps in 20's. My son wanted to go to buffalo bills stadium and help shovel 4 ft of snow for 10 bucks an hour and free tickets. Thank goodness they canceled the game and moved to detroit instead. I wasnt looking forward to driving there and shovel a spot to park the car then go shovel again for gas money, tolls and tickets. plus I wouldnt have a place to stay either.

27 heading to 38 and sunny.

It warmed up to 55 yesterday, so I got the last segment of power washing done and put it away for the winter. Now waiting for a warm, dry day to finish painting.

Thermostat said 21 just a bit ago. Did not light the wood stove because yesterday was very warm, with the the girls here this weekend I will keep it going all weekend now...

I think it is warming and raining by Sunday.

Be well all,
David

Guys I have a serious n00b concern about my tractor...

Over the summer I ran out of the Polar-D additive my dealer sold me, and unless I go 50 miles to him, I cannot find it anywhere. None of the other brands came with a measure cup, so I hemmed and hawwed and finally just a couple weeks ago bought something else I can get locally (and make my own measure cup for.

Problem is the cold snuck up on me. I'm not sure the fuel in the tractor has additive or not, I know that the full jersey can does not, am I too late? How doI add and mix it into the tank? How can I know that tractor is safe to drive?

How the heck is it legal to sell fuel that might gel up and turn to wax!!!! :shocked:

How much trouble am I in now? I hate being a n00b...

Thanks in advance,
David

Davis, I run my tractor all winter (firewood hauling, a little snow removal, etc.) and have never added anything to the diesel fuel I buy at Carmel Church or Ashland.

David I think your a bit south to worry about that but if you have a gel up use Power service HEAT.

That is the best news I've heard all day! I've literally been afraid to start my tractor...

I believe I've been buying my diesel lately at Sheetz in Massaponax or at the Citgo in Ladysmith...

THANK YOU!
Be well,
David

Thanks Murph.

How cold does it need to get? Does it just thaw out again when it gets warmer?

I'm going to go add some additive "Just In case" this weekend and maybe drive the tractor around to mix it up (my littlest one will love riding on it with me).

THANK YOU!
David
