Propane boils at about -50C. However, vapor pressure drops as temperature drops. So... what happens is the max BTU/hr you can draw drops with temperature and with the size of tank, and how much is left in the tank.
What your experiencing is probably a combination of all three. low temp, bottle to small capacity, bottle partially filled.
I did a web search a while ago, and my memory may be bad but what I recalled was that for a 100lb tank, with 20lbs left, at 0F BTU/hr capacity was around 30KBTU/hr. you've got a smaller tank and lower temps!!!
Add to that the oven, furnace, stove..... Ug... hope the WH doesn't decide to turn on!!
time to put the tanks to bed with a electric blanket!!
BTW my folks, further south than you hit -30F last night and they think it will be colder tonight. Reminds me of Xmas weather in the 60's and 70's with cold and snow!!
