Love it when states like this get weather they're not used to dealing with. Everything shuts down and everyone freaks out. LOL

But be safe Tex.

Bacon + lots of squats= sweet cheeks

Oh yeah it is supposed to drop like 30 degrees the next day or so...

It dropped 30 degrees SO FAR today. It was mid 60s when I left for work this morning, and it's now in the high 30s. High of 20 forecast for next Tuesday. Up to an inch of ICE forecast for tonight/tomorrow.

it was 8 when I just sat in my car to talk on my phone about a job so my work didnt here, took a LONG time for the car to warm up, then the call was over

My battery died today, luckily in my driveway. Pain in the ass as I needed to call a tow truck to jump it, but glad I have a fresh battery for winter.

Also, all of you complaining about the weather, simmer down. Not even going to approch zero here until next week.

 

[Road Guy]

Yes but dex and cement promised me 300 days of glorious sunshine!

Crap I probably need to get a new battery also, unless my aaa is still active?

 

[blybrook PE]

Just remember the ol timers battery formula:

States other than N. Dakota, Alaska & others that get frigid regularly: 250cca + 1cca for every cubic inch of engine displacement.

Frigid states, start at 500cca, then add in 1cca for cubic inch of engine displacement.

I guarantee it'll be larger than stock, but try to find one that'll fit in the tray. You'll only need a jump if the alternator goes out and you leave the lights on overnight accidentally.

Now for wx: getting freezing rain. Heavy at times. Calling for snow later that'll make the roads even mote fun. Stay safe out there ya'll.

It "feels like" -16 here. Ambient is -1.6F. I like it when it's so cold they throw in the decimal point.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Already have about 2" of snow and it's still snowing pretty hard. People have already lost their minds. Bank sent out a message saying they were closing early, and school was cancelled this morning in anticipation of the snow.

 

[mudpuppy]

Too bad we're not getting any snow up here. Wouldn't mind getting in some skiing.

Ambient is -14, 'feels like' is -37. In a row?

 

[engineergurl]

I thought we were supposed to get a bad storm today.... I am still waiting for it....

 

[NJmike PE]

NNJ to get 1-3 inches of snow, then rain and ice this afternoon, evening and tomorrow am. fun to drive in, not so much with the kids in the car though.

 

[engineergurl]

I said to my husband today... if it's this cold and wet out, it should at least be pretty, I wish we had gotten snow... or enough sleet/ice to cancel schools tomorrow so I could stay home
