It warmed up 28 C time for a cruise!

Jan 2, 2014
It was -44 yesterday morning and is a balmy -15 C this afternoon. Time to take it out for a run.

Re: It warmed up 28 C time for a cruise!

I have been in -40C to -60C area, really enjoying +07C here in New Mexico with bright blue skies and nice warm sun.!! Almost have to use the A/C while driving, until I go into a shadow.

Really nice lookin' truck ya got there, the back ground reminds me of why I left Alaska.

I have not seen temperatures (not windchill) colder than -45 C. That is pretty extreme.

Too cold for salt here. The do spread sand and gravel on the corners to ad with traction..... maybe a little salt. I avoided downtown and stayed on side streets.

Yes the A/C works, and so does the heater.

Truck started it's life in California, then Oregon before continuing the migration north to Calgary and now Fort Smith NT (700 miles north of Montana). Truck has been a garage princess since moving to Canada.

Math jokes (I had to have my son explain it to me)? You've been spending too much time out in the cold! LOL!

I was clear blue skies and 79*F here today! I would post a picture but that would be mean.

Trust me, at -40 we see lots of clear skies, but only blue for about 6 hours a day.

Here's a little math challenge for you. In the number sequence 8, 8, 4, 12, 3, what is the next number?

You guys in the northwest territory need to get out more. How am I supposed to answer that...really, how am I supposed to answer that? I'm lucky to make sure I get the right change at the corner market. Did I tell you it was in the high 70's* here today? Well, it was! LOL!

Look at the picture in my Avatar. That's what winter where I am looks like.
