Not here yet! It's slowed quite a bit and the roads are finally driveable for 2 wheel drive vehicles again. The wind is still with us though, and if I remember right, it's supposedly going to snow most of tonight.

Ok I am doing my glow plugs for sure on the 11th. Its 21 degrees out and it barely started. I did 2 cycles of the glow plugs and then it started and died twice before finally started on the third. It romped so bad I almost shut it off for fear of damage. That is a first, I started it last winter in -34 degrees in ND after it sat 10 hours at night without being plugged in and its still didn't romp this bad...... Its off to the daughter hockey game. See ya in a few........

Thanks for the advice guys.
Sorry for the delayed response. They are the cardboard "chutes" that keep the air flowing up the roof line and keep the insulation clear of the soffit.
