How cold was it this morning where you live? Cedar Rapids Ia, I woke up to -14 Farenhiet. My F-150 VERY slowly started, and then hammered like John Henry for about 20 seconds. How about you?

Not sure how cold it was, the local tv station says 7 above, and I am a bit further north, but well south of CR...

Howling wind and 37 degrees at Chateau Bigfoot. Even the dogs don't want to go outside. Killer view of the mountain and part of the gorge though.

-24 F here. Thankfully no wind to go with it. The F-150 started okay, but it wasn't a happy camper. Some weird engine noises for 10 seconds, and the door sure creaked when I opened it. Sets a new record low for this date.

To darn cold, the Brocno was not happy this morning until she got warm, then I think everything was frozen and it felt like a brand new truck. Kind of scary considering it is 15 years old. I think it was around 20.

It was around 20, I think, but it was snowing a little, so the clouds provided some insulation. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the single digits tomorrow morning.
