Here in balmy west central illinois we're expecting a high of -2F tomorrow and the wind chill is -20F right now. My garage is staying warm, I wedged the overhead doors a little tighter to the door frame, I have the heat set on 55.
 The house furnace is staying off for a while between cycles, I guess it's fairly tight. This is when I'm glad I'm no longer on call for plumbing service. The leaks begin when it gets a little warmer.

Don….. My shop roll up door “rattles” in the wind…… where do  wooden wedges go? I’m guessing between te track and the inner door face? I must try this, makes perfect sense!

High winds tonight with single digit temps, not normal this early in the winter here in Virginia. Also throw in two measurable snowfalls so far.   All of my old parts (which is all of them) hurt like hell.......

 Yes, anywhere I could see light through the seals. I'll snap a pic when I'm out there later. We went to a Christmas school program at 2*F and it was a packed house, I guess we're a hardier bunch than I thought we were.  We all went to lunch afterwards.
