-2....without the windchill......could be worse i guess

 

It was 9 last night in central Iowa. We missed a butt load of snow yesterday by about 4 degrees. Istead we got rain which turned to ice for us this AM. Snows on the way toinight they say. Only 2-7 inches.

Jengel,

Nice deer, How far out did you have to reach with that 30-30?

I'm jealous. Only shot guns here in Iowa / Illinois.

 

That there Winchester is a 45 Colt. Got him at about 100yds with a Oregon Trail 300gr cast flat point bullet with about 22gr of H-110. I decided to go retro this year and leave the scoped Ruger M77 .270 behind. I had a S$W 625 45 Colt Mountain Gun as backup. To make this a Dodge legal post, I picked him up in my big blue dodge diesel dually.

 

With 60-70 mph winds here in So Cal, it got down to the low thirtys in the vallies and the teens in the mountains.
So far as which bottle to use, I use the white one for the gelling factor.

 

Low of 13 above 0 last night here in the high desert. Was 19 when I left for work this morning at 5:00, already matched the high for yesterday. I plugged in the Block Heater last night, actually about 3:00 this morning. Seemed to make a difference, meaning it didn't run too rough at start up or blow smoke for a minute or so, but the wait to start light still came on. However, it was only on for about 5-6 seconds not 10-15.

Maybe plugging it in is worth it, but when the baby starts sleeping all night I'll have to get a timer or something to kick it on automatically instead of leaving it plugged in all night. 750W would add up. Then again who knows since it isn't plugged in at work so it really doesn't matter that much I think.

That is a good looking buck. Our deer season is over here (only 10days) unless you fling sticks, then they give you a couple of shots at them. Everyone seen the Amish Buck?

I'll try and attach it.

That Amish buck would look nice on my "wall of death"

Last night was -47*C, or -52.6*F thats with the wind, but up here in Northern Alberta that's normal winter weather! We also have about 5' pf the white **** on the ground!

 

Does anyone live near the Virginia Beach area? I'm getting a 2500 Mega-cab Diesel next year and wanted to know if I really needed a block heater? I'm pretty new to the area (stationed in Louisiana for the last 8.5 years) so I'm not sure if it gets cold enough for it. Like today, it's going to be 74*!

 

It got down to 62 last night. Thats a little bit chilly for us.

 

It's going to be 68 here today and tomorrow, but after that it's going to sink down to the lower 40's and stay there.

I guess summers over ....
