Preparing your gauge for colder weather as we move into the holiday seasonIt's mid-November, and several portions of the country have already seen snow. If not already, many others will see frost, freezes, and wintry precipitation beginning to show up in the weeks ahead. As you think about the seasons, keep in mind that water left in the inner cylinder of our gauge will freeze and crack the gauge if left outside in prolonged subfreezing weather. For those of you in colder parts of the country, the time has come — or will soon—bring the funnel and inner tube inside and catch frozen precipitation in the large outer cylinder. So keep an eye on your temperatures and preserve your inner-gauge parts for another season.
