Holy Cow it's COOOOOLLLLDDDDD!!!!

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

I just checked the temperature outside and it's **16F below Zero!!!**



OK it may not be shockingly cold for some of you, but considering it hasn't been below 0 for 8 years here, and that we are threatening to break the ALL TIME COLDEST January temperature by 9pm this evening. . . yes it's CCCCCcCOLD!!



The coldest temperature ever recorded in Pasco, WA in January was -19F on Jan. 29, 1950.



The record low for Today's date is a balmy -1F. We already blew that one to smithereens!!!!!!!!



BRRRRRRRRRRRRR



My poor truck is sitting outside unplugged It's NOT going to like me tomorrow morning!!! :{ :{ :{

[Got Smoke?]

:-laf its 48* outside right now @ a few minutes till 1AM here in Mid-Tenn.



Bad thing is I'm headed to Chicago tomorrow night, and they are in the middle of a snow storm!

 

[zari]

6 inches fell yesterday in W. IA / E. NE. The temp this morning is a whopping 0*F, with wind chills around -20*F.



I agree, it's <b>CCCCOOOOLLLLDDDD</b>. Fortunately, mine is in the garage, plugged in during the coldest hours (0400 to 0900).

 

[lschultz]

Its 35. 9 here at work suppose to get up to 50.

 

[mcoleman]

It was 72 here Saturday and is suppose to get down to 7 tonight.

 

[Glen]

Vaughn, it's cold over here too. I wish you people would keep this weather over there where it belongs.

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Well it dropped to -19F overnight, tying the all time low for the month of January. It was -14F when I left for work this AM and my truck was none too happy about it!



This is very usual cold for here and I imagine it's going to do in most of our palm trees.



Good news is we're supposed to be pushing 50 by next weekend. I'll take a 70F swing!!

[JLEONARD]

Burrr! Forecast says were getting the drop here in a couple of days... . wed,thrs,fri were looking at +1F, -1, +7.

Can't you guys out west send that system north instead of east?



Thank goodness for the block heater

-10 here this AM, not sure what it is with the wind chill.

Good thing I'm headed for Cozumel Mexico on Thurs morning for a week! Haven't been on a vacation in over 2 years. Supposed to be in the 80's there this time of year.

 

[dslmacdown]

Yes! It is darn cold this morning like Tim says. So cold I can't get the truck to start and Mexico sure sounds nice right now. The truck will crank but no fire, and living in a apartment complex I have no where to plug in. I'll try it later today but I don't have very high hopes.

[TPCDrafting]

Chris, you cycling them heaters a few times? Are your batt. 's good? I'd say push that thing, but that doesn't work, I've tried. (too heavy) Yep, I'll be wigglin' my toes in the sand drinkin' Tekillya thinkin of you guys in a few days.



All seriousness, pm me if you need help in the next coupla days.

 

[Cowboy Medic]

-12 when I left work this morning. My truck had sat out all night without being plugged in. Wasn't really thinking when I left and usually will cycle the heater grids two or three times when I am getting ready to go in the morning like that. cycled them once and turned the key and she fired right up. The other guy I work with drives a Ford, tried and tried and no start. I gave him a ride home after we found an extension cord to plug it in and let it sit a while. He said his wife would bring him back later. I was proud though, I never said a word. I know how much I would hate having to hear it. Later on when the pride isn't so sensitive he will hear it though.

 

[TPCDrafting]

Yeah! wait and save that card to play when he needs a reality check. I love that kind of hand, I play it all the time on my Dad who has a 6. 5 gm. I've had my share of problems, but he's needed AAA twice! I tell him he just likes the view riding up on top of the flatbed.

 

[WyoJim]

It was 16 below here at 7 am. Was going to go to Cody for groceries last friday but decided not to drive my truck in the snow. Was going to go today, but its only up to 3 degrees now so I will pass. Wednesday its supposed to make it to 45 degrees. That will be a good grocery day.



I don't know if my truck will start or not. I checked the garage and it was down to 62 degrees.

 

[BV]

And the snow has started up again here in Willsonville, OR. They are talking 3"-5" tonight and changing to rain by Wed. Sounds like we will go from the freezer section to flooding

 

[fkovalski]

-20* AT 10,000 feet here at 6:00am.



I thought I heard a blurb on the radio that it was -50*(?) in Gunnison. It is the coldest place in CO. I heard it in passing on the radio and pretty sure I heard them correctly. Still surfing to try and confirm that. Wonder if that C degrees? Found a source that stated -28* there. That's cold!

 

[AKAMAC]

You folks keep reporting all these low tempertures and the global warmming groups will complain.

Remember NO discourse on the TDR!

 

[DKayser]

Well digger`s A@#!

It was 2 above here this am. Yesterday, I told the wife I would be buying batteries this payday. How right I am! Old reliable would not crank at all at 6 am. In utter humiliation, I drove the Grand Cherokee to work. The old batteries were almost 5 years old, came in the truck when I bought it. Thank goodness none of the coworkers have Powerstrokes or Duramaxs. Only thing I heard was giggling from the other Rammers. DK.

 

[Will24]

Send that weather this way! it was near 50 today and I haven't seen snow for nearly a month now!
