I was waiting for the brothers Sornsin to chime in with waa waaa on the single digits- but in Oct last year, the freezer going down was about the same as outside, fitters were starting to talk huntin and ice fishin. Amazingly, Fargo is a degree warmer than my PA right now. Snowing on Thom.... So much for global warming

Thanks for the info I just wasn't sure. Remember I go into freezers to warm up in the winter. That's literal. More than once I've been surveying inside a freezer and it was much warmer than outside. I've only got about a 250 mile radius from about 030 deg to about 330 deg that is colder than here. Maybe the tip of Maine too. So everyplace else in the lower 48 is relatively warm country. How warm was the question. Certainly changes the pipe layout from the original when they said it would be heated. 0.8/2000 to 0.8/2600 grids to trees. I'm going to have some fun. Chris Cahill, P.E.
