It was his semi tractor hubby left running. Since it runs on diesel, it gels up faster than gasoline, and is a nightmare to thaw back out. It costs between $650 - $800 to get a froze-up semi started again, and it's the driver that's responsible for that cost even if the truck belongs to a company. So it's by far less expensive to let them run when it's this cold.
The trucking company hubby drives for authorized him letting it run for those 2 days and it's THEM who pays for the fuel. LOL He does have a heater to plug the truck in, but in this extreme cold, it's not enough.
