-4,800 density altitude….I don’t think that’s on the performance charts.

0 degrees in the goat barn. I need to inject some heat in there for them. I think I am going to blast in my kerosene heater for like 3 minutes. Should get it up to 50 degrees pretty quick.

GOAT’ed

Plugging my truck in is a matter of habit. A habit I forgot yesterday for the first time. Guess farm chores wait a couple hours longer.

The big oak tree in the neighbors yard is pooping too. That’s what I’m more worried about.

Messy tree?

My friend in Edmonton said it was -48 there last night. F that

I saw postings elsewhere that certain parts of Canada were seeing -50 to -58 air temps. That's just....crazy.

Mother nature obviously doesn't want us here.

Yeah she said it was absolutely horrible.

Everyone is out airing up tires this morning. Had to do mine and it's terrible.

 

[wintersmd]

It's colder than a Kelvin Sampson post game press conference!

That is a CLASSIC quote my friend.

I was surprised how well mine started.

Chore pickup fired up. Daughter car was slow starting. Was concerned. She’s heading back today so I’m making sure everything is firing up.

Pull the battery and go buy her a new one. It won’t get better.

It started fine you could just tell it had to work through the stiff oil. The pickup was the same way. Sitting in -15 degrees outside for a day isn’t positive. Only thing that would improve the starting is a block heater, and that’s not an option at her apartment.

Edit: pulled it inside the garage to heat it up, guessing some snow blew under it also.

It’s not terrible outside currently

This time of year the sun really does make a bit of a difference.

Yeah, sunshine after a blizzard means it is going to be colder than sh!t.

No, it's because of the thick oil and degraded battery performance at extreme temps. New battery isn't likely needed unless its 4-6 years old. Changed the oil once in an unheated garage at -20 and I couldn't get the oil to come out of the bottle. It was like jello and would come out in pieces with each squeeze.

Quite the ringing endorsement of the weather!!

Ummm, a translation for non avionic people, I'm guessing thin air?
