Merry Christmas to all.

It's way to cold to be even leaving the house today, and tomorrow will just be worse. And this is supposed to continue into the following week. Forget about driving any CMPs around for the next while...it would be life threatening.

I will abandon ship come the New Year and head for Mexico.

Hi Rob

Thanks for the link to Canadian Weather link, fun to see what the weather is in different parts of Canada. Here is the US version NOAA site http://f1.weather.gov/MapClick.php?l...8#.WkJDiJgo7ML

Right now it is a balmy -9 C here in Temple, NH this morning. You can change the location of the forecast location top left corner.

Cheers Phil

Yes, it is very fun

If you look up Nanavut then Alert, you will see that our temps are actually colder than the North Pole right now. Alert is about 500 miles from the pole and is the most Northern inhabited area in the world. I went there back in 1981, and it was also significantly colder when I landed back in Winnipeg than it was up there.

There are, of course, others who have it worse. In Fort Severn Ontario, it is currently -44.8°C, which is pretty darn cold. I hope they cut lots of firewood last fall.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all . It was minus 15 C this afternoon . Went for a ride in the Carrier .Installed the blanking board in front of the radiator and a map case over the engine air exhaust grill to keep the engine at a nice temperature . By the way what would be an ideal temperature please ?
