Is that the standard cable size? I need to get a shorter one for this winter and Im not sure what size I have on it now.

What was the load rating on the cable you bought at lowes? I've looked before but never found 3/16 cable that I felt had the proper load rating. Not all cables are the same, even if they are the same thickness. That could be an accident waiting to happen.
