I always find around that temp the wind shield quickly fogs on the inside when my breath hits it. I usually have to let the truck warm up until it blows warm air onto the glass.


I run the defroster on cold. Helps avoid having to wait.

The car doesn't fog up

Don't know about the truck, but I don't believe it does either.

No fuel-injected car should be idling at 3K RPM even when EhEeElEl freezes

Fix = drive off ASAP and quit mouth-breathing

It was 20 something here yesterday. I considered that a heat wave.

Consistently below zero here.

You guys must be imagining things, the calendar says Winter doesn't officially start until December 21.

 

[AccordV6MN]

it is almost zero F outside in the past couple of weeks for the high of the day in Fargo, ND. when it really go above zero F, it feels nice and warm, you know, like spring is around the corner.

Liz went out to run errands in her Blazer...it was 8 degrees. She hadn't plugged it in last night...started it, ran it at fast-idle (1400RPM) for about 3 minutes, then drove it. With thinner oil (has 15W-40), she'd have driven right off.

Get that 15-40 out of there! lol

She usually uses a block heater. (It's diesel.)

Up here we have to be sure to keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible or the beer will freeze .....

^^^^^ Isn't that the truth, Papa Bear!

I went into town today and it was so cold that the lawyers had their hands in their OWN pockets.

-16C (3F) all day today and it snowed a fair bit. Roads were relatively icy too.

 

[eljefino]

Snow coming through here, it's too cold for salt, so they're using calcium.

I can hear my fenders rusting at the very thought.

 

[HTSS_TR]

Today was sunny and 72, it will warm up to 75-76 tomorrow and Monday, then it will cool down to mid 60's few days later.

Low overnight is in the high 40's to low 50's for several days.

 

[Anduril]

70 today, 75 tomorrow, 81 on Monday and Tuesday. Got out on the motorcycle today

Had a few nights in the 20s last week which we are not used to.

 

[OVERKILL]

-13C (8F) today. And been snowing constantly since yesterday. We've accumulated about 6" in the last 12 hours I'd say.

 

[Nick R]

has been about 10-27 for the last couple days, and we've accumulated about 14" of snow since last night when it started
