When that recent cold snap (up to -10) suddenly turned into warm weather - about 15C in our part of the country, I went into the garage to find a horrific almost overnight amount of surface rust on all heavy metal tools - including the lathe. The dramatic shift in temperature/humidity caused intense condensation and surface corrosion. I'm glad I discovered it so I could clean everything down and oil the metalwork before putting covers over everything. First time this ever happened to me - but a note to self to keep an eye on temp shifts...
