Awnings are cool!

We have a large awning that is extended or retraced with a remote(yep, it has a remote) or by the switch at the entry.  It also has a wind sensor so if the wind comes up over the programmable wind speed setting, the awning will automatically retract to keep it from ripping.  We use the awning a lot unless it is windy.  Today it is cold with a mix of snow and rain, but no wind.  So when we were getting ready to go outside to get some cleaning supplies we thought we would extend the awning to give us some protection from the snow and rain.  Diana pushed the button and nothing happened.  Well, shoot, one more thing gone wrong.  She got out the manual and learned that at temperatures of 32 or below the awning will not extend.  Not sure why, but it won't.  At that time it was 32 degrees.  So I got wet getting the cleaning supplies.  The learning continues.
