Historic winter storm ENZO

   / Historic winter storm ENZO #32  
I am getting ready to go out in the cold and plug in the block heater that is built in to my 1995 Ford F250 diesel. In 30 years I have never done that. How do I tell if it is working or not?
Check back in 15-20min and see if things are warmer. If it were me, I would check the wires before plugging it in as engine compartments aren't ideal locations for wiring.

Good luck!

All the best,

Peter

Sub zero for the next three nights here. High of 5 tomorrow afternoon.

Got 800 gallons of propane and three cords of oak stored in the attached garage. Plenty of food so we can hunker down.
We’re supposed to be single digits below zero tonight. But not much snow forecast, just a few inches.

Did it work? On tractors you can hear them start working. I would think if it's quiet around you the same applies. Otherwise going back out and feeling if engine warm.

National weather service has issued a Blizzard warning for my area. It's 25* right now and snowing about 0.5 to 1.0 inches per hour. The TV weather man says we have had 2" already, and expecting 6-8 inches more today.
