I live in Alabama and woke up to this? wtf?

So I took a picture, and then got into my warm and toasty BMW daily driver

Haha...looks like your wheelwell has a bit of a snowstache! Its been cold here in FL but not THAT cold!

Rick Mills · 02-01-2007, 09:07 PM

Would you guys like me to call the "WWhhhhaaaaaaaaaambulance?"

Just kidding. <Really wish I was there>

It's supposed to be -6 tonight and maybe get all the way up to 8 above tomorrow here in Colorado. Wind chill is around -25... <Yeaaaa>
Only thing running here is 4X4's.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-01-2007, 09:15 PM

Yea I used to wish I lived where it would snow, Id take a trip up to tahoe and see some and it would be like 33 so it wasent to cold. Then I move here and have what I thought was a normal Colorado winter, a little snow here and there, melts off in a week, no big deal... till this year, I havnt seen my lawn in 2months, in fact I have 3 light up raindeer under that 4 foot pile in my yard somewhere....

krue · 02-01-2007, 09:54 PM

Is that what snow looks like?

Next time it hits 32 we're gonna be out washing our trucks in t-shirts. HEAT WAVE!

I think it would be safe to say that the drought is over here in colorado!

Now "that" is funny. That's better than the snow shovel post...

**Ron 586** · 02-01-2007, 10:44 PM

We got a little snow here but I didn't take any pictures of it.

longhorn70gmc · 02-02-2007, 12:14 AM

Cool Truck, Whats Snow? I live out here in the high desert of Cali? Still love your truck,
Respectfully

Kager67 · 02-03-2007, 12:42 PM

Well guys, it got down to -25 last night (actual temperature). The wind chill was around -45. This is the worst cold snap we've had in years. Colorado has had more snow than us, but we've been alot colder. I figure this just separates the men from the boys. But I do hope mother nature turns up the thermostat pretty soon.

These are the types of temperatures that I get busy at work...not pleasant working conditions, especially if you have to stand out on an open hi-way for an hour trying to upright some idiots 4X4(people seem to think 4wd makes them invincible on icy roads).

Kager67 · 02-05-2007, 01:50 AM

I was waiting for a Canadian to chime in.

Usually if its cold here, its really cold up there. I heard that last night up around Winnipeg (about three hours north of me) that it hit -40 last night and wind chills in the 50 something below range. Now thats COLD.

lowrollin70gmc · 02-05-2007, 02:21 AM

I back Kager67 as a fellow member living in NoDak. But we pale to those freaks up in the great white north!!!. Was -40 F or C?

All I know is it's freakin' cold to go anywhere, walking to class is fun, against the prairie wind. The car (pretty much new) takes longer to start, coolant gauge reads -20*. I can only imagine those Canucks. They must plug in their electric car huh. (Southerners: if you don't get it, yeah.)
