Glad I could be of help.

Fans often run after you shut the car off to cool them off properly. It
could be that it never shut off when you parked it. The timer is
supposed to turn it off after some predetermined time -- it could still
be the timer or related circuitry, but that is far less likely than the
relay's contacts being shorted so check that first by swapping relays.

Don't drive without the cooling fan disabled, though. You may have
never noticed, but fans do periodically turn on, even on cold days.
You don't want to run the risk of overheating and doing serious damage
to the car. If you really need to drive the car and don't get to
troubleshoot it, let the fan run all the time and pull the fan's fuse
when you park it.

Enjoy the snow - hopefully we're (southern CT) not getting any no time
soon
