IIRC, the 50/50 ethylene glycol/distilled water ratio provides close to the eutectic point. That is the lowest temperature at which any alloy of metal or liquid mixture moves from liquid to solid state. I believe that is very close to -32 degrees F.
Daughter near Omaha said they are supposed to get near -24 tonight.
I don't know what is done where temps go to -32 and below.
Good reason to own an old "bug" or Corvair?

Bob,
When you next contact your neighbor, thank him for his service.
He is very lucky to have such a good friend and neighbor.
