was down to -8...and it's only day 1. 

 

need to buy pipe wrap / insulation for the oil pipe coming into the house...the oil gets sluggish from that pipe...coming into the house / to the burner.  Trips the burner every time....and wake up to 50 degrees.  :-/   Only happens when temps go below 0. 

 

^ regarding the small area of pipe exposed to the outdoors.   (only about 2 feet long)

I had heard of some anti-gel additives, but this link mentions adding some K1 kerosene. Good luck. No fun waking up to a cold house!

Latest HRRR is off the charts cold, has temps hovering around -10F throughout the region by 7:00 AM

I saw something similar over in the mid Atlantic forum referring to -10 also. I checked again because the valid date on your graphic is for tonight, I.couldn't see how that would be possible so I double checked the other forum and they are saying the HRRR is off. Ian actually said the HRRR is huffing paint... lol

Yeah I don't buy it for a second, especially given the current cloud cover
