I know you guys think that is cold, but up here in southern Alberta, Canada the temperature right now is -30 degrees Celsius (or -22* F) and the wind chill pushes it past -38C (remember from High School physics that at -40, Celsius and Fahrenheit equal one another and Fahrenheit gets colder below that). Been like that since last week. Now having said that, at some point before the end of Feb we will probably get a Chinook that will take it to +10 - +15*C in less than 24 hours - Crazy weather swings, but that's par for the course in the lee of the Rockies. Fortunately the Cummins in the Mega Cab starts with a little coaxing from Mr. Block heater.
