After taping up the camera hole (Weather forecast said it was going to snow) and installing a fresh set of Energizer\u00a0lithium&#8217;s\u00a0I switched on the computer and sealed the box up.

However I suspect the sensors are reading 2&#8217;C warmer that it actual is as my more accurate thermometer read -4&#8217;C external. None the less it worked flawlessly for 18 hours in subzero temperatures.
