    Oh, that's not good. Do you have someone who can jump start your Jeep? I'd be happy to -- even have jumper cables, but I"m kinda far away.

    I have my charger on the battery and Im waiting for the booster to charge.

    Karen, if I had an electric blanket I would put it out there.

    I really do need to get a bottle and oil pan heaters on that thing.

    Yeah, we don't often get temperatures THAT bad here, but I know of instances where a tarp and electric blanket have come quite in handy. That and a LONG extension cord ...

    I'm taking Murphy to the vet this morning to have her thyroid tested and will pick up stuff while out. I'll be back in my jammies before "All My Children" comes on. It's FREEZING here!!

    Aki,

    I found the Michigan winters aren't any different than the ones in CT. At least when it's cold and snowy here I can go visit my daughter or best friend. Couldn't do that in MI. Stay warm!!

    Blue,

    I grew up in the prairies and know what cold is but -38 is just not civilized? Hope you have a good warm parka and please don't expose those ears that could hurt big time !!! I lived in a full length sheepskin coat (complete with hood) and muskrat mittens during the winter - looked silly but who cares

    Good luck with the Jeep Them square tires can be a little disgruntling at times
