At 50 degrees I would of been looking for the nearest swiming pool to go swiming in
When we hit mid 20 on Saturday and when I was working outside I could only wear a windbreaker due to it being so warm. We have been up to 40 the past 2 days and they say more of this heat the rest of the week
At lease we can still make snow angles up here and you can't[8D]

Welcome back Drew!
You know these past few weeks I've been in Champaign ,Il (about 4 hrs from my Iowa home) for work and have been staying in hotels during all of this weather. I have been running the statadyne mix with good results but the last couple weeks the temps with the wind factored in were running about -20 with a low recorded at -34.
I noted the motor was a bit hesitant to kick off those morns as I couldnt plug in. It would fire 3 times in a row but it wouldnt stick. Of course this was a bit nerve racking but she always came around on the 3rd or 4th try.
Becouse of this at the next fill up (never went below 1/2 tank) I put about 4-6 oz of the PS 911. The next morn I went out (again -20 to -30) and she fired right up without hesitation.
The weather finally broke here as well but I think I'll continue this practice when the weather calls for these extreme temps as it made an immediate impact on the cold weather starts.

We had ours down to -2 here in bushland Texas no record but cold, as well as -26 in the mountains of new mexico started with no problems the high idle came in handyFor some reason mine runs better in cool than hot maybe its just me i don't like hot by the way i don't plug it in it doesnt have the plug need to get it though.
