Feel bad for our southern members

[QUOTE=Morfoot]
C'mon down Tony...plenty of room to stay and and plenty of CCFans around to hang out with for a few days.


Tim, I would love to do that sometime. I told my wife we had a invitation to go down to Georgia and she said " its way to hot down there. In May they have their air conditioners on!. She's a wuss though. I apologize. She loves the cool weather. Ill watch for a southern reunion. Tony.

Link to an article from the local newspaper. -18 air temp with -61 windchill measured at the end of the lake. I sure could use a little of that global warming about now.

I did not know that John yikes! It was in the owners manual to do that. Good to hear someone else had the same trouble John,next time I see you remind me to tell you 2 stories,one about the block heater incident and another one, I just filled up with what?

This was what we had Monday.



Back up over zero today for the high. Felt balmy!

Be very very careful if you add gasoline it can explode with the smallest static spark. Gasoline fumes are to rich to easily ignite and diesel fumes are to lean. If you mix the two there is a chance you will get the perfect explosive mixture. A garbage truck driver here in Chicago found out the hard way. When he put the nozzle in the tank it exploded and he burned to death. Use anti gel fluid.
BTW my dad had a VW Rabbit way back in 79. He used to park it at the top of the parking garage ramp any time it was below 20 degrees so he would be able to coast down the ramp to start it. He had about 10 floors of ramp in his garage at work. We also put a lot of miles on my moms Buick pushing it at home. It got pretty good mileage though. Maybe that was due to all the coasting and pushing. Gasoline diesel explosion hazard

I haven't drained the water out of Miss Scarlett's block yet but did put a work light under her Blouse to keep it a little warm under the hood. Checked the temp in the garage this morning and it was 35 so I was glad I did. Heck I might have to run her this weekend if it's gonna be 64.

Tim: What a coincidence. Everything I had planned for this weekend just got cancelled.

Then, stood in line at the remote rental car hut for 2 hours to pick up some little turd that barely got out of the lot. Got to my destination at 2:01am, one minute late to get a beer. There were air travelers that had been cancelled on since Thursday.

Think of all that character you built with that experience Hollywood.
Welcome home to Chicago!

Heat wave in Chicago, -6 and its a dry cold!

John - No, I don't have a legal case to cite regarding weather. Was just an opinion.

My wife works for the school system & knows of parents that are looking for the chance to sue about clerical errors, etc.

Thanks for setting me straight. I won't go there again.

I've had enough of cold heading to Phoenix not planning on going north of I-40 till March

6'F in Hotlanta this morning but it's supposed to be 64'F by the weekend....Woo Hoo! Gotta love it!
