Is that frozen? Just how cold is it out there?

The fertilizer won't freeze, it just gets gloopy. Those are little balls of gloop. It starts getting gloopy I'm going to guess around 50 degrees. And when it gets gloopy it doesn't want to flow through filters and nozzles and such. So when you have a couple of thousand gallons stored and it gets into the 30's and 40's every night for a week and only gets up into the fifties during the day you have a big gloopy mess. And then it takes a few days of warmer weather to de-gloopify. So on Monday and Tuesday and this morning I had to stop to de-gloop the filter every 5 acres or so, whereas this afternoon and evening I did not have to de-gloop even a single time.
