Nick,
What do you heat your house with? Wood? Those old chimneys require a lot of draft which wastes heat.
Gas, my furnace exhaust runs up through the old chimney. There is a wood-stove in the basement, but I sell all of my firewood. When buying the house I could not get American Family to insure it without agreeing to not burn wood.
I run my engines in the cold as well. I find that I need to richen the alcohol (more towards 95% than 75%) but I don't have problems with icing.
I have issues with traction
Admittedly, today was around 10F so not as cold...
The best way is to raise steam in the house and carry them outside quickly. I also have issues with traction, likely because the engines are warm and I carry them outside, so the snow melts and quickly re-freezes to the wheels. I have tried WD-40 and cooking spray with not much luck...
Yes, we are back in a heat wave as of last night
