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.
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.
We had like 3 inches last week, but its back to normal weather, Im doing an oil change on Mom's car and mine today after work, will prolly wash both while Im at it.... No garage, outside on paved drive... its like mid 60*s
Love the cool weather, Love the snow more, but DAM that's too much
Man I'm in Florida now, first time in more than ten years I haven't had to deal with a winter.
70* and sunny today, gave my car a bath.
Weatherjerks suggested we would get less than an inch by 1pm. Actually that's still their forecast. I plowed over an inch off the driveway at 5am and it's still falling like crazy.
They don't have a clue wtf tomorrow evening is going to look like. Really? lol
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.
Nah, I dont mind the heat either...and I also dont have AC...compressor is shot..
Windows down and moving is fine with me...its the working outside in that heat, or sitting at a stop light for ages..
