How cold can you go

-27 on my commute into the office on 1/31. I live in a suburb west of Minneapolis, MN.

 

I was out fartin' around in the garage like usual, 60deg, had my fleece pullover zipped all the way up, I was freezing. Stayed out there for a while and polished the exhaust tips on the vette. Could not take the cold any longer and went in and hunkered down for the rest of the night.

 

33 below. Helena 3/4. My wife’s crv. 33 below was after she started moving again

 

-40 C = -40 F

Really friggin cold.

 

A snow cornice off my roof

 

Damn cold here Tuesday, and Wednesday.

As I type this.....

 

No it won't -- you can't die from poor MPG -- you CAN die from those temps!

 

I once was out in (on the flightline with the B-52s) -30F while stationed at Ellsworth AFB-- we had 35-40 mph wind to go with it. Never again - I hope

 

Averaged minus 50 below zero for the past 3 months .
On start up I have no power steering and no brakes for at least 20 minutes .
After 20 minutes of idling , there is hardly any heat and the heated seats are still chilly .
My commute driving to work is over a frozen lake and it takes 6 minutes . The truck doesnt really warm up , therefore I dress to the conditions

 

yea I would love to be Freezing like that up here in Chicago.

 

Pretty cold in my next of the woods.

 

What part of SoCal is 115° today? lol

 

Lol this was last summer

 

I'm just messin' with ya. Thankfully we haven't had too many of those days the last couple of summers.

 

We had a windchill of -83 30 years ago.

 

Being born and raised in so cal ive always been stressed about the things I don't know about winter automotive operation lol. Went to big bear a couple weeks ago and one night was 19 degrees, I was pretty blown away when my windshield washer fluid was frozen solid.

 

I know that feeling. Last fall, I was passing through the continental divide in Colorado, and got caught in gridlock traffic in a blizzard, on black ice. First time I've ever driven in real snowy conditions, and I got tossed straight into the fire.

The truck did great though, in 4x4.
