Second frost seen here this morning. The morning low only touched at 35 degrees, but that was enough for frost.

As long as no piping bursts. My 20 tube solar hot water heater is still pumping out barn water at 128*, however, I am not a fan of PV. I should install an Axeman Anderson down there. Of course, not to connect it but to watch the wheels turn round and round - being an idiot is never easy.
