so I Thought yesterday was bad, when the thermometer hit -34'c and with wind it was about -50'c for the whole day.. now today it's -35'c with less wind, but I swear driving to work took 3 times as long and the car DID NOT warm up. damned 2 litre OZ engines

 

dude that sucks, do u have a garage to keep your car in, and maybe warm her up for like 10 mins before you drive her.

 

nope, at least it was plugged in all night. I had it running for about 20 minutes before I went out, and the temp gauge was still only reading about 30% heated up, then when I was driving (due to wind chill) the cars temperature dropped to about 20% and stayed there. haha and get this, its gonna be windier tomorrow.. its its -50'c outside with wind, and if you throw water out the window it will turn to ice before it hits the ground!!!!

oh and this is in edmonton, alberta

yeah chicago is pretty damn cold right now too. and its only going to get worse! according to the weather stations anyway. i honestly dont mind the cold to much, but it wont stop snowing! i just hate driving through all that slush and slipping and sliding everywhere. it was like -10 below the other day with the wind chill.

 

its pretty cold here in FL too, its maybe 68 outside

 

well im not familiar with chilli weather cuz i live in sunny california hehe, but dont you guys have to have those engine heater things? Is it necessary or manditory? And...how do they work?

 

yeah it's called a frost plug, they usually plug into the bottom of the oil pan and a filament not unlike a toaster to burn bread with heats up and keeps the oil warm at night. when you start the car
in the morning it starts better so the oils not like hard glue..

to put this in comparison, I believe the temperature out in Faranheight is: -61.6 and could possible dip to -68'F later

 

man its like 50 here in Houston, and i'm crying like a baby about it.

 

lol its 17 here but feels like 5 and getting colder as teh night goes on, but in about 1.5 months it will be in the 50's again! YAY! and then only 3 more years till i can be on my own and osme where warm!

 

haha its in the the 10's here...not to bad..

i grew up in michigan, where it would reach -50 F a lot so im used to this kind of weather....and my car loves the snow/ice haha..or at least i do lmao

 

It's like 10 degrees here in NY...with snow falling at 2" per hour

 

man i couldn't live like that!

 

Yeah, it's pretty frickin cold here too!!! Omaha, NE that is...We just had the worst snow fall in years-----we had 13-16 inches of snow in ONE DAY!!!! yeah it sucks *** in the Midwest...

Also, I Valet Park cars for my job...i also go to school and the temps out are about -10 to -20 with wind chill so my job sucks too
