It was 22 here this morning, I think they called for a low of 31. The low being 10 degrees lower than forcasted is pretty normal.
I am in clovis how about you?
Last year we had a 10 day stretch of -10'F or lower for a week, this year we had a few mornings where is was right around 0'F.
Socorro, last year hit -13, lowest ever recorded here. Did you have gas and electric problems during that cold snap last year? We just had low natural gas pressure, but some friends in Las Cruces lost power and gas for several hours.

One of the guys in the off road club got ahold of a 2.5 ton truck that he was planning on running on waste oil, he wasn't planning on running it much in the winter, even then he was planning on blending it in the winter to prevent gelling. I havent seen it in his yard recently so I think he got rid of it.
