Usually, I like winter
 

But not when it's -35F!!!!!! :roll:

I was outside for no more than 10 minutes and my hands hurt. My fingers are all red and tingly. They are already closing schools. Bring on the global warming, just a little please.

For you goobers that aren't cool enough to use the Fahrenheit system, -35F is -37C.

I hope my car starts tomorrow, it had a hard time this afternoon.

go buy an Optima battery. From what i understand they aren't as sensitive to extreme temps as regular wet cell batteries are

Yep it was cold here as well.. almost +45*F ;)

Thats some crazy temp :shock:

About 15 Degrees Celsius here

Yup, gel cell, I've got one. But when it's this cold, who knows whats gonna happen.

I've seen worse. On a snowboarding trip last year, we had to stay an extra day when a friends car decided not to start, it was -55F.

and my pipes are freezing at near single digit temps :shock:

my house would fall over if it gets much colder.

I'm just outside St. Paul, well away from International Falls.
When we got stuck in the -55F weather, we were in Biwabik, about 200miles north of St. Paul/Minneapolis.

Also, we dont' talk like that. You only hear that way up north where all the Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish settled. :lol:

Re: Usually, I like winter
 

im going to bed

Or rather, -18 1/3 degrees celcius.

Damn, that is pretty cold. It was around 25 degrees celcius today. 8)

-35F?! global warming my ass ;)

In that temperature I think I would even be able to open the doors of my car.

For the first time since some years we had no snow at all :? I am not a fan of winter but I prefer to have real seasons ...

wow i'm jealous... so cold :( i want that kind of wheather too :cry: i hate it when it's so warm like it's right now

yeah tonight Pittsburgh it looking at negative numbers. :|

Thats pretty damn cold 666! I thought is was bad here when I had to change from shorts to long pants :lol: Ahhhh, I love California.

-35C makes for damn good snow for snowboarding :D

My only dislike of living in Southern California is very little snow. I havent even gone boarding once this season :cry:

I'm leaving for Austria on the 23rd. 1500kms of Autobahn fun awaits :D

Re: Usually, I like winter
 

I do have a block heater, what good it'll do I don't know, I've never used it.

Not in my opinion, in weather like this, it literally only takes a few minutes to get frost bitten. Been there and done that, sucks a lot. BTW, the coldest I've ever snowboarded in was -50F. Take one run, head in to warm up, go out for another run, go warm up. It isn't worth it.
That and there is no wax suitable for those temps, so your board will be super slow.

It isn't much better here man, despite our recent weather, we've had very little snow. I've only been out a few times and it wasn't that great. Good thing I bought a ton of new gear right? I think we've had maybe 10" of snow this entire winter.
:cry:

My car did start up today, but not very nicely. It fired but didn't want to run properly, the revs started bouncing back and forth between 700 and 1500rpm. It didn't settle down untill I held the gas a bit. Other than that I had no problems.
We did have some trouble at work today though, two trucks had to be jumped and one had the locks freeze.
A guy at work had his door latch break, so the door wouldn't close. He tied it shut! :lol:
Another guy had to get a jump before coming in and another left work with a new starter today.

Also, we sold 53 starters today, mainly Honda starters. We also sold a lot of batteries and a handfull of alternators.

Fun day, and it looks like it'll be even colder tonight!!

Re: Usually, I like winter
 

i don't know about boards...but the few times i've gone skiing in 15-20 (C) below, the runs were pretty much ice, and going straight down was just suicidal...

^^ I didn't mean to snowboard "in" -35C, but the snow falling at that temp makes good powder. In Söll one year, it was close to -35C during the nights, snowing, and during the day, it was a sunny and nice -14C. It was great :D

sorry guys, but F the cold, i like the heat, the beach, and the surf 0X

I understand what you mean now. Yes, super cold temps makes very soft, dry snow. The deeper it gets the more fun and dangerous. Although, we don't have many avalanches in Minnesota!

Mrmojo, I've got the block heater plugged in tonight. I'll see if it makes a difference tomorrow morning.

yeah my truck is parked outside when i goto school and with the wind and zero degree temps it sometimes has a tough time starting but it always pulls through :P but even in the warmer month i always let my engine run for like a minute or two (longer in the winter, like 5-10 min.) just to get some oil moving around.

Had no problems starting the car this morning, and the block heater had become unplugged! LOL

Only problem was the snow, we only got a few inches but it made a mess. Combined witht he icy roads, it took me 40 minutes to drive 6 miles to work. :roll:

We had a little bit of snow yesterday over here! :D Only bad thing was, again it melted right away :( Argh I need my daily basis of snow in winter!
