-31C with a -38 windchill here, 9 kph wind. About the same it's been for the last month. As long as I start the Rav4 every day the 10 yr old battery works. More than two days, the battery ends up in a sink full of hot water with the caps popped off. The last time I pulled it, ice was forming in the outer cells.

My weather app is lying to me right now. Says it's partly cloudy with a wind chill of -27 while it's very clear and warmer than that

You guys sure aren't happying me up any! :lol: It's supposed to go up to near 40 tonite , it's raining now, and then temps will drop tomorrow into the low teens. Weatherman says a 30* drop in 15 hours. On Thursday and Friday it was supposed to be about 0 nights, now it's moved back to Tuesday and Wednesday. Glad I kerosened the truck today!

Dman, we're on track, day 5 and 7 pages already. ;)

Shoot, that's halfway decent after Tuesday, if you don't freeze to death. :lol: I don't think it will get into the negative temps here, but it might.

I think you're right. If we keep this pace up we could make a leap year no problem.

According to my weather thing it's supposed to hover around freezing all week. I don't know if I believe it, but it'd be nice to have nice weather for my first week of school. Hopefully the roads home clear up so it's not a 300 kilometer stretch of slip and slide

They have changed wed, Thurs, and Friday three times today and keep dropping those temps. I'll be dealing with ice tomorrow.

We have enough snow to hide a gallon jug upright in it. So 12" plus.
