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.
Poor Jeep! Got a warming blanket you can drape over the hood?
Aww cripes! You don't have a block heater for it? :-( that totally stinks...
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 ...
OMG.. that's when you just say the heck with it and stay inside!!!
we've been checking the temps in alaska too. my daughter will be leaving for elmendorf AFB on jan 6th for 36 months. good thing a michigan winter is a pretty good primer for that! LOL!
well it's 36 degrees right now, and like your jeep i don't want to start either...and yet that J-O-B requires me too. *sigh* see you after 9pm
Wow!:eek: I believe the coldest temp on record here in my lifetime, was -22. I remember that night and it doesn't happen often. I can handle the cold, just not that cold! ;)Quote:

I'm all for staying inside!!! It's -24oC here this morning. But the wind chill makes it feel like -38oC. Brrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
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!!;)
I don't do THAT kind of cold! I would be so miserable I would be in tears!!!
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 :p 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:p
Good luck with the Jeep :eek: Them square tires can be a little disgruntling at times ;)
