NO CHIT!!! Mine was below -30, but anything after -20 or so, I jus' don't notice any diff. But burns the nostrils when you suk in a bunch. Sorta takes the 'fun' outta winter, for me, anywho.
Well, if'n I didn't have 'em torn apart, all five o' 'em woulda started. They be in the heated "Men's Crisis Center".
When I came back from a no heat call, Momma's li'l car jus' didn't wanna hit on all four. She had it half flooded when she finally called me. Put the charger on it right away, and put the big torpedo heater in front of it, with the concrete blanket like a li'l tent. OH THE JOYS!!!!! But got her off and rollin'.
Highways are dry, but slipperier than snot in spots. Black ice from frozen car exhaust on surface. SURPRISE!!! Jus' tons of accidents in the Cities. Momma works at a body shop, SWAMPED. She was bummin', cuz normally she can pull her car into one of the bays during the cold days. They are full up and a dozen or more waiting in the wings, that was as of yesterday. Be more today. That's a 'good thing' for us, bad for the drivers.
And it's jus' been "HANGING ON". S'posed to go above 0 'maybe' tomorrow, late.
Stay warm, still more to come.
Jus' noticed, after I posted, that I should prob'ly change my sig pic.

Now, I'm not sayin' it's 'too cold', BUT on the way back form town this morn, I happen to notice several crows flyin' over the hiway. There were these 18-24 inch long 'yellow' icecickles hangin' under 'em.
