Cool -37 this morning and WooooHoooo!

Yes folks, -37 in Northern Ontario and when I started the beast, it was groaning and even gave out a little belt squeal for about 15 seconds. I hadn't even bothered to plug in the block heather. This is one tough (Performance Truck). Ford's slogan in Canada is: "Built for life in Canada" and yes that even applies to Lighntings in the Great White North.

For you southern boys, driving this forced fed monster at these temperatures is like having a 75-100 shot of nitrous on demand. These motors love the cold as much as Husky dogs.

Later. I'm going to play outside. Woooo HOoooo!

Both scales meet at -40. So at that temperature, there really is no difference. I didn't see any mosquitoes...

Still a beautiful sunny day.

Be sure and keep an eye on those tire pressures at those low temps. It seems to sneak out.

I don't think I have ever been in temps those cold. I heard at some point you can spit and it will freeze with a crack before it hits the ground.

Not a good time for a road side pee unless you are kneeling next to the running exhaust.
