NEWS; The frigid weather here convinced my wife to check on getting some propane, She quickly learned that the price had soared to something over $3.00 per gallon and they would not deliver any unless tank was down below 50 gallons. The tank was still about half full. When we filled it last December, I think it was around $1.60 per gallon plus or minus 30 cents or so. Anyway, the link below has some information on the surge in prices and the diminished supply.

Pipeline maintenance, pipeline flow reversals, extra crop drying load, etc. It appears only two actual propane sources for the midwest.
WEATHER: About time for the Rural Electric to get out their heating comparisons again. This will make electric heat look good especially if with a ground source heat pump. Maybe that will be a summer project. Temperature has warmed up today from negative 4 or 6 F degrees to around 20F. According to KELO forecast at 5:00PM, south winds should warm up the area over night. Winter seems like it has already lasted forever and we haven't had anything as dreadful as NE South Dakota and western Minnesota.
