YOWZER!!
I haven't seen that since living in Winterpeg. We have hit -30 a couple of times over the years but normally -20 would be an extreme low.
Bundle up and stay safe Westerners.

We've got +5 today and +1 tomorrow with rain, but dipping to -10 on Wednesday.....-- even that's too cold for me....
Stay warm, guys, and keep those G's plugged in and happy....

Kind of hoping more of this snow melts.

I had a meeting this morning, so unfortunately I had to come into the office today. This morning was the worst conditions I've driven in a long while. The roads were extremely slipppery and with heavy snow and winds, visibility was near nill. There were a number of people off the road. Yay, I love winter!!!!

I washed the cars and it ended up warming up enough to melt the bit of ice that was on the drive.

Man the G was cranky leaving work this afternoon - only -26 and each upshift came with a pronounced WHACK until the heater kicked in. Of course I didn't idle it for more than 10 seconds prior to driving away gently...
I'm still waiting for my TPMS to show - went from +10 in the heated garage to -26 in the space of today and nothing yet...
