Big whoop.

I live in the CO Rockies @ 8K elev. There's a foot of snow on the
ground, it's
-12F, outside, and we gotta drive 100 miles at 7am.

I got yer "cupcake" swingin'.

Pussy. We had -19 Wednesday morning, missing the record by 2 degrees. We
also just missed the record for the coldest high temperature for
January. This global warming really sucks. This is supposed to be the
Montana Banana Belt not frigging North Dakota.


Yikes! How often do people have trouble starting their vehicles at those
temps?
When it gets down to -40 things turn over pretty slowly. At -20,
with winter oil and a good battery, generally not a problem starting.
Transmissions and differentials are a bit stiff and sluggish for a few
miles, and the springs and shocks complain, giving you a rough ride
for your troubles, but we get used to it - - -


Centigrade right? -40 is the same in both and is damn cold. -20C is -4F
and that's seldom a problem unless you've got an older car.
I was converting to F for all you metricly challenged Yanks and Rebs.
