Unhappy This Canuk says its Too COLD!

This morning the thermometer read -36.8°C (-34.2°F) and the weather channel estimates a wind chill of -55°C (-67°F)...

I am not even leaving the house today. And forget cranking over the new ride.. I don't think its got 0W-40 in it...

Texas, Florida all sound good to me today..

Now that's COLD!

It's only 29* ABOVE here, and I'm considering staying in all day too.

Must be nice to be able to do that.....It was REAL cold in the wind this morning...

Dog, congrats on the new truck.....

BTW, not too long ago I believe you said it's "too hot in Texas".....and "at least when its cold you can add another layer"....Its time to add another layer.....

Yes, I know about the Texas statement.. But darn it all, I just can't find enough coverage to keep my nose from freezin solid... Our little JR Terrier won't go out for a leak without dancing around with frozen feet.

I am thankful that I have alot of office work to do today. That new beast is COLD BLOODED.. My 93 made better heat, I think I need a new thermostat in the new truck..

Thanks Doc, I hear you were finding a diamond in the rough too. This unit was at Innisfail..

Yup... Nice rig, couldn't let it go..
1 owner, non smoker. The box has some dings in it from a goose neck on the loose but other than that it runs good and drives tight.

Heck, its still got the window sticker in the glovebox..

Ya, I gave em my 93 and a 96 2500 4X4 LWB ST /360 V8 plus some cash.

I really only need one truck and the gasser was getting most of the attention as my business truck..

Now I just have to outfit this one for work, roll out bed, topper, phone, positive air shutoff, etc ya know.

That 24V was a nice truck too, but I wanted a the 12V instead, also my roll bed is made for the LWB... The big fuel cell is a plus.

It seems all the central prairies are getting the cold.. The wind is the part I can't handle, the bare cold isn't that bad.

ND is supposed to get some good snow too, are you seeing any yet??
