Not different blood, just spiked with Jack Daniels to keep it thin enough to flow.

Damn, it is 9:15 a.m. here & still -30 degrees out. Sure glad I have indoor plumbing.

-40C Here in Sunny Manitoba Canada at the moment.
My car hates me in the mornings.
Try replacing an Alt on a cadillac in a parking lot when it's this cold.

Thats OK, I'll pass unless it os one of those fancy heated parking lots with a roof & 4 walls Um, a parking garage.

When it this cold out & something break I pay good money to have a over priced mechanic fix it. Good sunny 80 degrees & I'll fix it.

That was in Saskatchewan yesterday without any wind.

Can you imagine what the wind chill factor may have been with a 30 mph wind ?

Here it was -27*C with a 10 KPH (6mph) wind,

Resolute Bay is usually the coldest place in Canada,the other day I think it was -57 there.

I mix coolant/anti-freeze 75-25 to water for protection to minus -50.

I drove from Florida, overnight, lastnight. The temperature would change up t0 10 degrees, in two miles.. Average all night was about 21ºF. Clear skies, and not much wind so it wasn't bad, but 23 in Florida.... EEEEK
