All the cars up there have what looks like an extension cord sticking out of the front of the car. That is to plug in block heaters so the engine would start. Traditionally you don't plug in until 17 degrees. At around 15 to 10 degrees people can sort of still work but machines just give up the ghost. They just won't work. At 17 F it took our drillers until 11:00 to get the rig functioning with blow torches heating the rig since 8:00 in the morning . By 4:00 the light had given out and dark set in (not that it ever got very light!) so everything came to a halt.

Eric,

No worries ... I'll head over and set-up b/c I have no idea if anyone will show up (public included). I figure there could always be someone ... adult or parent ... that bought or rcvd a new scope for Christmas and they may brave the cold hoping someone can help them? I also rcvd a direct text this week from someone who got my P/N from Back Bay asking if they could come (of course!) but I don't recognize the name as an individual who has posted on either site.

Eric, I'll look for you on Saturday Night, February 1st.

Cheers,
