It appears that the Arctic front is on its way out as it is a full 10 degrees warmer this morning than it’s been in several days. I slept straight through the night and awoke to a toasty rig. Yay!

I’m posting again today to address some more comments.

The first one is regarding the rental of a large external propane tank. I have explained this situation so many times I don’t even know if I’ve done it in a post or not, but I’ll say it again: tank rentals are not available here. In fact, I’m even lucky to have a propane refill place within less than 150KM as the Co-Op considered just doing tank exchanges.

Second of all, I appreciate the unnecessary concern about the propane tanks depressurizing after a period of use in super cold weather, but I really don’t see what the fuss is all about. The explanation is clear (so there’s nothing to troubleshoot), the easiest resolution (getting a larger tank) is not possible, and the duration of the problem is short and finite (two nights and two days). To me, it really hasn’t be a huge deal and certainly nothing to lose sleep over beyond the physical fact of having to get up to switch tanks.

I’m just glad to have this information for future cold snaps that we may have and I know that a lot of you have learned something from my experience.

Here’s how the next 14 days are shaping up to be. I’ve been watching the 14-day trend for a bit and it keeps improving. This is a-ok and very manageable!
