Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #15Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #11Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #10 Besides the non-frozen food, you'll probably want a temperature controlled switch to shut-off the refrigerator at just above freezing. Otherwise, the control loop in the typical refrigerator is trying to control to a temperature it can't achieve (i.e., there's no heating element). Look for greenhouse or homebrewing supplies. The one I bought for my my barn refrigerator (~$15) isn't offered anymore. Old Forum Orphan |

if you have any smart home stuff, you can get a $20 smart plug (rated for say 15A for fridge) and setup an automation routine to shut the plug off at a low temp threshold and turn back on when it crosses back over, using local weather data.

We have fully insulated 3 car garage. I don't heat it and it's never been below freezing. I saw 34F earlier this week with outside temps below zero all day. Amazing how much heat is gained/retained from the cars after a drive.

Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #18 The cars really do produce a lot of heat for the garage. Now that both of us are retired and we don't go out of town because of COVID the cars only are only driven a couple miles at a time and don't get up to temp. Most winters we would drive to Des Moines a couple times a month for a movie and go out to eat. Lee |

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #19Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #18 Agreed. I'm retired and Dawn works from home. I put 188 miles on my car in January. Dawn had knee replaced in November. She's put 464 miles on her car since November.

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #26 Crazy weather here in Central Texas. With the single digits last week, the last few days have been in the 70's and yesterday was 86!!! I've gone for a couple of rides in the afternoons but noticed the typical conditions around here. We don't salt the roads but spread sand. The trouble is, they know how to spread it, but the don't know how to sweep it up after. Intersections, bridges, etc. have sand left and it's not much bother in a car, but on a bike you'd better be careful. It will probably be there until summer. I hope everyone survived the weather without chaos. Frank

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #29 It's something we deal with every spring. I try to wait for a couple heavy rains to wash off the salt and sand before getting the bikes out. All that sand is hard on the front paint and windshields of vehicles.
