What's the temperature like where you live? Here in WNY, it's about 40 right now and the wind is crazy (40-50 mpg gusts), but it's going to drop fast this afternoon and tonight. They're calling for -30 wind chills. Good thing for a heated garage!

Coldest I've felt was -22 last winter in northern Nevada. Screw that, you can all keep it.

It was colder last week in Albany than it will be this week.



At least your not closer to buffalo, they're supposed to get 3-4ft of snow off the lake tonight into tomorrow. I'm sure you'll stil see a foot in Rochester.

Here in Northern Indiana right now is -17* F with a windchill of -38*F. my GK is an icicle, driver door is frozen, battery is dead and the hood is frozen shut can't pop the hood to jump start it. it's too freaking cold to try to mess with it.

It's a big deal for me. I grew up in the Caribbean, "winter" is on average 75-80*f.
