Ya, it is freaken cold. Located in Southwest Michigan, lows down to -10 with highs around 8 to 10 during the day.
Bad thing for my truck is I have been off work for three months (broke back from fall at work) and truck is sitting out side during this time.
I put charger on from time to time and, try to have engine run once or twice a week when possible.

~65* in the parking garage this morning. Going the let the truck thaw out entirely today so I can pressure wash it when it hits the 40s this weekend. There's a "deep freeze" in North Texas going on apparently, meaning air temps are actually at or below 32*f. Sissies.

It's fun to rub it in! I'd never last up there, either.

I paid my dues. I lived in the Detroit area for 50+ years. I also used to do cold weather testing when I was at Ford. My personal record was -48°F. Luckily the winds were calm so that there was no additional windchill. This happened in Timmins, Ontario, Canada.

MARK,head up north of i10 and get that feeling back.

Wierd weather. I live in southeast Alabama and there is going in to be snow in Florida to the southeast of us and out in the Gulf but none here.

12 below here in North central Maine this morning, been as low as 29 below this past week, since Christmas night it hasn't been above 5 degrees above during the day, and around 10 to 15 below each night other than the one night it hit 29below.

Looks like we were at 6°F this morning. Storms coming, wife asked me to go to the farm and get the generator, JIC since there were warnings of power outages.

26 Degrees here in Houston, we even got some sleet last night :)

Loving the actual Winter Weather!
