January: Deep Cold and Why Springs Let Go
Rockford does not hover around freezing - it goes cold and stays cold.
That distinction matters. Steel is at its most brittle at its coldest, and an unheated garage here through a cold snap gets genuinely, sustainedly cold rather than dipping overnight and recovering. A torsion spring that was already fatigued from normal cycling is far more likely to let go in that state, which is why broken-spring calls in this metro cluster hard in the coldest weeks rather than spreading evenly.
