    I'm shutdown in Milford Ct. How serious are the no idling laws? Is there an exception for when you are in the sleeper berth?

    1. Find a stray cat
    2. Stick it in a box
    3. Hand box to local LE when you tell him you have a pet.
    4. post bail
    5. Report back.

    Honestly, it depends on where you park and how long you stay there and outside temps.

    I'd shut it off. If it got cold, climb in the fart sack and call it a night.

    70?
    No way I would idle at 70.
    That's perfect weather.

    Idling at that temp is asking for attention. If it were in the 40's it would be less of an issue

    Makes sense. Its a bit warm but I reckon its better to sweat a bit than get a ticket....
