Wow GPL. I feel sorry for all of the southerns for having to put up with our weather down there. Its business as usual for us up north. We design and plan for at least -35F. Our water pipes are buried at least 6 feet deep. Anything shallower than that has some kind of heat to keep them from freezing. Our home/shop heating systems/insulation values are also designed for that temperature. If you are a planner, we also have a backup heating system and electric generator in place. That said, I know how disastrous it can be when a lot of things are not designed for a once in a century cold spell like this. It is sometimes tempting to add water only to a low radiator in the summer time but I have found we are way ahead (time & money) to take the time to add 50/50 antifreeze tested to -35F.

Up north we find it is a good time to light the fireplace, Jane a bottle of wine & listen to Patsy Klein and see if we can find a way to keep warm.

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
