Start by plasticing up those windows, put down draft stoppers, bundle up from head to......wait. That doesn’t have a negative sign in front of it

Haha.

It’s days like this I’m sad I missed my chance to move to Florida.

I went out this morning to get in my car and the door was frozen shut.I had to exert a bit of force to get it open.....got in,turned the car on and the dashboard thermometer read sixteen degrees.

Next Monday may be a high of 78 (yea!) but we have chance of rain for the next 6 days(everyday).

 

[MrsE88]

Well I’m excited for the weekend here. 38 on Saturday and 41 on Sunday. I just hope that’s really the temps we’ll get and not just made-up to get us through this cold.

One fun thing about temps being so low is getting to do this

If it were me I'd be putting on a sweater and ski jacket lol I'm such a wimp for cold weather now after so many years on this island, I'd probably die of hypothermia in 10 min. if I ever went back to Alaska.



That said I very much respect all you cold climate tropical fish keepers, it's a whole 'nother ball game you have to deal with.

My car didnt start this morning, -25F here, uber to work! Starting off the day in the hole.

 

[MrsE88]

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

I forgot to start our vehicles yesterday so I went out this morning to run them. Both had a really hard start but fired thank goodness! I still have to go out and start the other truck, but it’s across the property in my husbands shop and I really don’t want to go out there It hasn’t been run in a few weeks and I’m afraid I’ve let it sit too long.

Sounds like you need some engine block heaters, just about every car in Alaska (and I'd reckon Canada) has them or they wouldn't start on cold winter days:
