It's -36 Fahrenheit right now as I post this. I am not to far from high level Alberta.
Last year it had gotten so cold here that my tires froze in the shape that I had parked, for the first few minutes driving to work it was like driving with square tires. It gets as cold as -60F here at times. You southerners don't know what cold is.
YEAH!!!!
You know it's cold when your tires freeze flat like that!!!
Happened to me in Prince George BC one time. Was -50 F overnight and when
I went to drive in the morning, it was like driving on blocks, rotating blocks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
KN, have you ever had to UNTHAW your vehicle engine with a Tiger torch????

Took almost a full 25lb tank of Propane before the oil was thawed out enough to
allow the engine to start turning over <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I walked 2 miles to high school once in -53F. Got to the school, and it was
closed because the water pipes burst. Had to turn around and walk back home.
When my friend and I got to my place, my mom offered us a hot chocolate. By the time
the HC was ready, my friends nose had thawed and the blood vessels in his nose
burst. Had to take him to the hospital. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
The funny thing is that 2 years ago, my cousin who lives there still, was out
playing golf at Christmas time. The grass was still growing...
