I kinda chuckle at this cold weather thread. What is cold to one is warm to another... ;D
We get folks from corporate in Texas visiting here on the north slope sometimes in the winter. They always are shocked at just how cold it can get. I always tell them, "yeah but it's a dry cold." Kind of pay back for when I took basic in El Paso in the summer. I got so sick of hearing, "yeah, but it's a dry heat."
It is actually a very dry cold in some areas. If my memory's correct Denali NP gets low enough moisture to be designated as a desert were it in another latitude.
I posted yesterday on mix dilution question for -100 RV antifreeze I bought from Walmart @ $2.58 gallon. It's light pink tint. IMO not enough color to mess up sawed wood.  I figured it's cheaper than the blue WW -20 version was $1.78.
Tell me if my dilution math question I asked about in the nearby older thread is correct or not?

A bit late with my reply but I mix mine 1 gallon of RV to 4 gallons of water all year long.  Have not had any adverse reaction with lumber stain.
