Is it too cold to....

This cold weather has gotten me to thinking about the things I need to and want to do, but it is just too darn cold.

It is too cold to work in the unheated garage on my '54 F250.

It is too cold to work on much outside unless you have to.

It was -4 here this morning. I talked to my brother in NE and he had -14. I guess I'm suppose to feel better because it was 10 degrees warmer here.

It is just too darn cold.

I thought it was too cold too, but check out the "gotta love them Icelandic Super Duties" thread

I need the wheels and tires on my SD.

Its too cold to work on ATMs, but yet there I am turning screws, cleaning, adjusting, and testing, however, when I put it back together and start it up, the motor kicks on and shatters all the gears. GRRR

It's to cold not to wear gloves and to snowy not to wear my rain boots beyond that it's not really all that cold, seriously.

It's too cold to be going to work when the heaters in the shop ran out of oil last night and won't have any more until tomorrow :-(

I could chop some holes in the ice on Tuttle for dipping if someone wanted to do it. Come to think of it, tomorrow it will be too cold to even go out on the ice to chop holes.

Everyone don't rent any trucks for the next few days but feel free to rent out storage rooms so long as you don't move into them until after the spring thaw.
