How cold was it?

zuluZero · 02-06-2010, 06:17 PM

It was so cold this morning, my digital tire pressure gauge wouldn't work...

After yesterday, -12 somehow felt colder than it should - but the sun was so tempting, I couldn't resist washing both of my black cars. I probably have a sun burn to boot! The trick is to flip the car around 1/2 way through the drying stage to melt the ice.

It still wasn't dark yet, so I also did the charcoal delete and went for a spin. To be honest, I can't tell the difference yet - but that filter wasn't doing me any good in the intake path, so out it goes

I have a nice cruise to Toronto tomorrow, give it some time to make an impression.

-12 is nothing..
last year i remember seeing the forecast saying something like -46. even breathing outside was hard.

This year is a heat wave compared to last year. Mind you I'm also in Miami at the moment so judgement could be a bit tainted.

My manual tire pressure guage froze a few weeks ago as well when we had a cold snap.

Yeah, but people in the mid-west are tougher/crazier than us

But how cold is too cold for you to hand wash ?

I think we need some winter weather in Vancouver for the games. It was 12+ and sunny yesterday in Vancouver.

but you guys have a dryer climate compared to our moist climate, so even though the temperature might be lower, the feeling of it isn't as cold. Trust me, I've been to Calgary many times the -35 there feels like the -15 here
