That's wind chill. It has been below zero here in ND for 5 weeks with only 6 or 7 days above zero -24F this morning, high today -18F. All the schools are closed.

So what kind of super-duper antifreeze do YOU winterize with?!
That kind of cold is hard to take!

We just use regular antifreeze, good to -60F, that's the coldest it has ever gotten in North Dakota or Minnesota. If were to get colder it would turn to slush. Whiskey freezes at -38F and that can be a problem.
I work for a rural phone company and i can't remember the last day we missed a day of work.

I live in mine full time, 28 is nothing to worry about INSIDE, but the hoses outside.. Well I protect them too.. Or drain 'em.
When it hit 11.. I had a slight issue inside, no damage though, just thawed when it warmed up.. I did put additional heat in the wet bay though, about 250 watts in each end on thermostats. Ends did not freeze, just the middle, and in the middle, .. Well it does not do damage there.

My lavatory pipes froze up, but started flowing after a couple of minutes. Good to know that PEX can tolerate some freezing.

They tell me it will be 18 tomorrow night... TOO COLD for this rig which is rated to only 20.
Thankfully...... The park is usually warmer than the weather station.

I don't think 2 degrees will make much difference and it will be for a short time.
