in the twenties for a high today, 16 degrees tonight for a low, the windchill will be...ZERO.



We hit a balmy 31° this afternoon.  It's not going to get that warm tomorrow, and starting about 13:00 if the system's pattern holds, we have snow coming.

That reminds me... I need to pull the batteries out of my cars and bring them indoors.

So they don't freeze.  I had to replace both of them last year because I left them sitting out all winter.

You're talking about cars that aren't driven every day or couple of days right?

We have a self-propelled lawn mower with electric start, and after sitting in the shed all winter started up the first time this spring.  :tongue:

The Ford hasn't been started since June.  The MG has been idle for about a month.

When I had my Mustang (don't get excited; it was a '78 'Super Pinto') I had the battery give out on me after being left out a single night in single digit temperatures.

We had a long stretch of below-freezing weather last winter.  It got down to 11 or 12 degrees a few nights, which is the coldest I can remember it ever being here.

We had to replace the battery in our 2002 Saturn 2 years ago, but it was the original battery.

I'm surviving the Polar Vortex quite nicely. Mid 60's here, perfect for shorts and flip flops.  :tongue:

Snowing here today.

It's being called "unseasonably cold", but not glow bull warming.

But warm weather's moving your direction, from here.

Temperature 17 degrees this morning, with wind-chill 6 degrees.

Those are positives, not minuses.

And it's going right your way.

It was 11 degrees here last night.
On the way home I had to listen (on AM radio) to a new report about how the polar bear population is down most likely to glow bull warming and the shrinking of the ice cap.
I thought AlGoreManBearPig promised us the arctic ice cap would be gone by now.

I think the polar bear numbers are down because they were denied their usual October diet of Eskimo kids.
