Default Another cold day

If you don't know by now, I like taking pictures of the temp gauge on very cold days...

To the guys in the northeast (or anywhere else it's cold), stay warm!

right now - 4:30 a.m Seattle is 47F (sending wife off, will go back to sleep I think)

which means our ski resorts are ~37F, which means if i want to use my seasons pass I need to buy scuba gear, not ski wear

-13F is cold though.... been there (parents came from N.D. where that is the norm in winter) Keep safe

Coldest I've seen mine is in the teens. But today while driving to work it was in the mid 20s. That's nothing compared to you guys!

Yep... I left for Florida yesterday and it was -39C with the wind chill (-25C ambient)... My brother reported a -57C into one of the Northern Canada destinations that he flies....

I will state that the heater in the 996 works very well! (stay war all)
