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

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.

Where abouts in Minnesota der ehh are you? International Falls?
The amazing thing is it really is only the northern Midwest that is in the deep freeze.

|
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.
