Well, yes. This is the coldest major metropolitan area in the country. But
insulation is a wonderful thing. The shop door will never be opened to the
weather in the winter. I'll enter though the garage for a bit of a
vestibule effect. The shop will stay shut up most of the time. I will only
heat it to 50 or so. What I am trying to prevent is the "cold wrench
syndrome" and the moisture that typical garage heaters cause.

Actually, the Twin Towns are not a snowy place. Upper Michigan or upstate
New York will get way more show than we will.
