It is not nice outside!!

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

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!!

ahhh they're not too bad. prolly because i have lived here all my life.

-32 out right now and the dang Jeep still wont start. I walked 1.5 miles to the store for some provisions and ISO Heet for the gas tank. I did take a cab home. Im kinda suprised my heating oil hasnt gelled up.

I shouldnt have made any mention of my heating oil. I ran out of oil overnight and woke up to -34 outside and less then 50 inside with no chance of a delivery till monday.

30 gallons of diesel in the tank should get me to Monday and then some. Im gonna set up a monthly delivery for the rest of the winter.

Oooh, cursed yourself, didn't yah? have you informed Bluedawg and Verde that, as Alaskan doggies, they're supposed to keep their human warm?

[blue]

If they could have kept the pipes from freezing I would have waited till monday instead of running my furnace on diesel.

Stay safe I can't even imagine dealing with that cold I am such a wimp. Do you have a wood burning stove?
