that is with my own tank. 
was 21f at 630am today. going to stay in upper 30ās during the day for the next week. i think we will be in winter here soon.
Well, our growing season ended this morning. It got down to 29 in the pepper patch down by the barn. I picked what I could last night by spotlight. Kinda extreme, yes, but I didnāt want to lose the peppers. The okra and last few straggler tomato plants down the hill got bit Iām sure.
It was 32.5 up here on the hill, so maybe the peppers in the upper patch didnāt get hit too bad. Iāll probably pick those today.
I hate that it freezes so early here, especially after it was in the 80s just 10 days ago. We had to turn on the heat already, which I hate to do, but when it gets down to 60 in the house, you donāt have much choice.

Chilly but still no frost . The heat clicked on yesterday and took the chill out of the house.

True, I suspect your lows is where we diverge 
Itās been super windy today and tonight. This afternoon, my wife asked why the deck umbrella was on the roof! It wasnāt even up, but it was so windy, it got pulled up out of its base. Glad it didnāt land on the car.
Itās supposed to drop to 32, but still only 42 at midnight. With it being windy and cloudy, I donāt think itāll freeze.
Our power went out for about 10 minutes today, and has flickered a couple other times, no doubt due to the high winds. Glad I got my battery packs charged up after the first outage, might need them tonight.

Is there a power wall in your future?
Power wall? Whatumean?
If youāre talking abou this, Powerwall | Tesla, canāt afford it right now. But, it would be nice to have some kind of backup generator.
There are several designs and competitors. Older models only utilize DC input. Newer designs attach to the bottom of your electric panel much like a generator would, except that they store electric energy to a certain capacity and then discharge it when your service provider fails.
It fersure froze here overnite - and a wild snow squall yesterday

upper 30ās here and low 20ās to tenes at night. snow flurries. going to be a early winter!
Even though our temperature is currently matching the dew point there is no moisture to precipitate.

The only caveat Iād add to that would be to include āruralā Midwest. City people still freak out with a couple inches of snow in MN. Out here in the sticks the townships donāt even plow snow on the dirt roads until thereās a decent amount. Oftentimes I have to plow a path out to the blacktop using my F250 so my wife can get to work.

same for rural n. east. also wind is a big factor. 2ft. of snow here w/ no wind, compared to 2ft. w/ 10-20mph winds makes a big difference!
