umm? wanna go thru that again.

Its -1 here or about -33C
-1°F is -18°C


-37°C is already very cold temp. No hope for driving a diesel engined car in that weather Do you use a some sort of preheater for your car 666fast?
I do have a block heater, what good it'll do I don't know, I've never used it.

-35C makes for damn good snow for snowboarding
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.

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