Post by: coolidge on January 30, 2018, 03:13:25 AM: News for our part of the world is saying to plan ahead and order your propane early, anticipating a shortage due to the cold we have had.

Just thought it was funny that her sister was all crabby about it when it's cheap as ever. She's 31, but maybe some day she'll become an adult and realize that adult things cost money. 2014 was over $6/gal here and limited to 100 gallons per fill

Sounds about the same as it was here, except I think the highest I heard was $5.25 at a hundred gallons a fill.
