Yep, cold would be an accurate description.

Without a power steering pump to protest these temps my truck doesn't seem to care, it sounds and acts like it's 60 degrees on a cold start. My work car was a bit noisier than usual though.

You know its too damn cold when your black lab won't go outside to play fetch with a light up ball... What the actual ....

My drive home was only about 20 min, I was expecting a lot more. I will say the ramp from 100-494......... Icy as hell. I got sideways and drifted the whole way (may have been on purpose...) I figured if people were going to drive at the speed of a snail I would have a little fun lol. The hill on bush lake road was another issue within itself though. It is the first time I have had to use 4x4 in well over a year... And there was barely any snow.
