    Here is what we are dealing with right now.

    These pics are about 2 weeks old, its snowed more since than.













    And believe it or not but on Thursday, North Dakota was colder than Siberia, according to the news.

    How cold did it get down to?

    It was -20°F here this morning. My car started HARD and then it took 5 mins for me to un-stick the e-brake.

    I took this the other day. Rammed through a 2 foot snow bank to get into the driveway.

    -27 is the lowest I saw, but there was a slight wind so the wind chill factor was like -50. I never tried to start mine when it was that cold. Id just as well take the truck at those temps.

    At these temps, I wouldn't be using an ebrake in an automatic. Too easy for slush etc to get on it and freeze it up once you let it sit overnight.

    As I pulled out of the garage my ECC said 40F It dropped to -6F within about a mile.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    My driveway has a fairly steep incline and I don't want to rely only on the parking pawl to keep it in position. Plus when the driveway is icy, it's less likely to slide if all 4 wheels are locked.

    I miss the snow, I can't wait to move back up north, sick of living near all these fat-biscuit pounding-bible loving-inbred morons here in Salter Path NC.

    Meh...that is a good bit of snow. I live down in FL, and I had no problem driving around in 2ft of snow, which the bottom 3-4in was solid ice, in upper NC.

    What I do have a problem with is, when its 102 degrees outside, and 85% or higher humidity....****ing miserable...

    -27????? Epic Fail!!!! With temps at a -27 YOU WIN!!!! Screw that. And I thought -10 with wind chill was bad enough. I won't ***** about the cold here anymore. Well we know that's not really true. But will try to appreciate what we do have here.

    Am I the only Floridian who doesn't mind the heat. I don't even have AC lol.

    I did the drive from the FL wide meet in Orlando with the windows down going back up and was perfectly happy.
