Hi Dick

You might want to check the "usual" temps at specific places on the 
dates you expect to be there - go to: http://www.wunderground.com/ 
and enter the name of the city. Then scroll down to the "history and 
almanac" section and look for "detailed history and climate (KDNL)". 
Enter the date you will be there for several different years and see 
what the "usual" temps are for that date.

I have used this to guesstimate if I should buy 30 amp service at 
international rallies, etc, and have found it works well enough.

If you find you do need heat, don't forget that your batteries will 
probably hold OK for at least one night's furnace use. Hugging your 
honey tightly keeps you warm the second night...
