Last night, the forecast was for 9F minimum, so I programmed the Sanyos
to turn off and set the oil burner to turn on.. Went to bed..

This morning, I saw the local chart..

It bottomed out at 7AM, and it never got down under 11 degs all night! I wasted a few gallons of oil..
(This is the second time I've been tricked by the forecast)!

Now, look at the right side of the chart for tonight.. Yeah, at 11PM it's 6 deg F!

Accuweather still says it's going to stay above 12F all night!!
