Default Hope the NE Storm does not affect you guys

Wow, 20" new snow in the NE. Here's hoping Rennlisters stay off the roads altogether, or on the roads safely if it's crucial to get there....

LOL - don't get too bold with the snow shovels unless you know the boost pressure limits on your heart; this will be a busy weekend in the cardiac wards, I bet.

Keep self and family safe.

Thank you. We have a lot of the white stuff. I am playing hookey and working from home. The schools are closed. Might work on the 928 briefly to figure out where the leftover washer goes.

Shovels are for steps and teenagers.

Just put a heater in my detached garage. Temps here are going to the single digits soon; not good for my 75/25 water/coolant mix.

-30 Celsius here last night. Not much snow but the cold temps render road salt ineffective. So lots of accidents.

Warming up to -2c tomorrow. That's just below 32f.

Space heater keeping the garage warm.

Adam, you are quoting a windchill number, it was around -22C. Still very cold but not as brutal as -30C. In Winnipeg during the day is colder than on Mars during the day. I've got a 1600W space heater and two 300W bulbs going in the garage. Warms it up enough to even work but it will show on the hydro bill for sure.

I don't know how you NE guys handle all that cold and snow. You must be so big and strong.

Yep I did not want to get into the wind chill thing, bottom lines that's what it felt like last night. I swear my SAAB was possessed this morning when I started her up. The electronics were going skitzo.
