Some parts of the state have already had Freeze Warnings and much of the rest is having it tonight. You should be aware that if water is allowed to freeze in the inner tube, it could break it. To be cautious, you should probably remove the funnel and inner tube and move them inside when you are in for freezing weather. From what I have heard, the outer tube can handle the nasty weather. If anybody knows differently, let me know and I’ll pass the information along.

With freezing weather in the forecast, it means snow may be entering the picture soon also. There is an “art” to measuring snow and in the future I’ll try to explain some of the challenges you will run into, but we’ll put that discussion off as long as possible.

Thanks again for volunteering for NeRAIN.
