Sorry....we have a Heating & Air Conditioning business....we like extremes. This is usually a slow time for us so it's nice to see some good old cold weather for a while :)

I was just outside trying to get my van to start and it's so [moderated] cold the wires are breaking off the block heater cable faster than I can fix them. I can only work on it for about 30 seconds then I have to run back in and warm up for 5 minutes.

4. Bitter cold? Yes? Shirley you don't mean that?
And don't call ya Shirley, right ;-)

NOOOOoooooo I hate this bitter cold. I want it to go away. We zoomed all the way up to 1 degree today. Now we sit at -11 with a windchill of -23, so sayeth my weatherbug at the moment. looks like it will be that way all week :-( I don't mind the cold too much like lows in the 10's and 20's but this sub-zero crap is for polar bears. Plus propane is more than a dollar a gallon I'm told. I contract mine but this bitter cold really takes a huge bite in more ways than one :scared:
