[TheForge] I don't think so

[Jerry Frost]

Hmmmm. Teach me not to read a post carefully, including the sig line.

You're not going to get cold enough in Athens Ga. to damage your tools. Sub
freezing isn't a factor to anything but comfort and cold fingers related
safety.

When I think "cold" I'm thinking sub zero and that is definately a threat to
tools.

Perspective counts. <grin>
