I park in the garage

 

This.

 

What part of the bay are you from?

 

Days when it is 35° windy and raining can feel colder than most snowy days at 10°...

 

It sounds nuts, but 10F is warm in ND if the wind is not blowing. One gets use to it, but it's soul crushing.

 

You haven’t lived

 

Back in the Midwest it was a gallon of kerosene for every 20 gallons of diesel. Keeps it from gelling when it drops below zero. Don't know if it works on new trucks tho..

 

No garage at college though. Damnit

 

Oh we have lots of those. It’s cold with a strong windchill, sometimes accompanied by rain.

 

We still do that sometimes.

 

I get to park in a parking garage, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Big step up from the curbside it’s been parked on since 1997.

 

I was born and raised in that crap. Every time I see snow I remember shoveling that crap. Or waiting for school bus with wet hair and it freezes solid or your buddy has frozen snot on his face.

 

Fuck snow. I'll take rain for weeks on end Nor Cal style any day.

 

No fun

 

I was 8 and when my uncle brought his Mack home it was kerosene in the fuel tanks and a 100 watt light bulb on the intake.

 

The Toyota lives indoors and the company truck stays outdoors.

 

Eh. I perfer my freezing windy rainy days over snow. Sounds like the magic of it wears away after about a week.

Plus, nothing to shovel and no rust!

 

You know it was a long day at work, when you use dawn dish soap as body wash.. Intermodal chassis are dirty dirty things...lol

 

I had an F350 with a 7.3. If it got really cold and I had to get it out I'd setup 4 propane caming grills under it for about 2 hours to warm it up. The wife was always worried that I was going to set it on fire.

 

I feel North Dakota is always trying to actively kill vehicles. It's safe to say that body shops love the first snow and hail storms
