Good info to know if and when we run into the same problem.
Not sure if this will help but had a similar problem recently during our stay in MI over the Thanksgiving holiday. Temps got down into the teens overnight. The furnace stopped working so I figured the propane tank was empty. Went out to check, gauge was still showing green. Switched over to the second tank and furnace fired up. The tank I switched from had a frost line about 14" up which surprised me. Had the tank filled and it took 7.5 gallons which also surprised me.
I figured cold temps lowered the pressure in the tank and gas would not flow out. Funny things happen when your on the road in cold temps.

It wouldn't have been the temperature lowering the pressure unless the gas was butane instead of propane. I used to haul and deliver both products back years ago and always had to go around to butane tanks and inject a bit of propane to increase the pressure. Butane is REALLY subject to cold, but it REALLY has to get cold to stop propane.
