How cold is it...?
My truck has been parked last 5 days, been real cold up here. Plugged her in this am for about 5hrs, started her up had a small puff of black smoke. i let her idle at 750rpm for about 5mins then kicked on the high idle bumped it up to 1200rpm let her run for 10mins drove to town for supplies. My over head ambient temp started reading about -40deg C same as -40def F a few miles later overhead showed "---" ... I checked outdoor thermometer was reading -45degC light wind, don't even want to guess what the wind chillwas!!!![:-]Thankfully I have a decent winter front!!

Northern Alberta, Canada... suppose to be cold like this for next 3 days, norms are around -8degC or about 20degF for this time of year.
Hey 1normy... heat wave....
When it gets this cold I'm always amazed when ya toss a cup of hot coffee into the air ....it turns to ice before it hits the ground!!
No wind tonight... (thank God!)... just lookng out camp window over towards gas plant watching the exhaust roll off the top of compressor stacks, the exhaust is just oozing out the top and jst haging in the air, lots of "ice fog". Kind of serene, the orange glow from the sodium yard lghts throught exhaust and ice fog, wish me camera was working! [:@]
