My facebook is pretty littered with cold weather posts.
6 degrees here. Real feel of -20 though with 20 mph winds. Woke me the fuck up. Driver's door was frozen shut. Had to climb in through the passenger's.
i have that problem when i don't remote start the veloster :/
It's so cold my remote start won't work. The irony is not lost on me.
8 degrees, feels like -11 here in Meriden....house was all nice and toasty at a nice 72 degrees this morning with the Harman pouring heat out like a beast...
then i stepped out side and my left nut got stuck to the side of my thigh......

wat i dont even.
When it's warm my car starts right up. When it's really cold it cranks a few times before it turns over. The remote start will crank it 3 or 4 times. That's not long enough in the cold. Probably something I can adjust, but I rarely remember to use the auto start, let alone look into this issue.
We're up to -1 currently. Supposed to be 15 tomorrow and around 40 by Saturday.
Oddly the truck wouldn't go into gear the other day. It was around 0 degrees. It doesn't have an actual shifter. It's an electronic knob on the dash like a radio control. Wife called and it was stuck in Park. Once she let it run for another 20 minutes it was fine, and it hasn't happened since. Seems like it's a problem waiting to happen though.

Also I've decided to buy a snow blower before next winter. Most likely a blower attachment for the tractor. Thought about it this year but we've had pretty mild winters the last few years. Driveway is a single car wide but about 130 feet from street to garage and I'm apparently not getting any younger. Shoveled twice yesterday and I'm pretty stiff and sore today.
I was woken up this morning at 5:30 to one of master bedroom windows shattering from uneven thermo expansion. Only cracked the inside pane. Now I have to get that fixed.
Snow blowers are great. I actually did my house and 2 neighbors in about an hour. And 2 of those are corner lots. Great way to get some beer for just a little gas and time, haha.
