55 Fargo Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Chance, here is the real cold. Mopar engineering at it's best, 1955 Fargo truck 251 flathead going fora drive at about 5 below Fahrenheit, with a 18 below windchill factor. My daily driver is in the shop 2005 Caravan, getting a new intake gasket, leaking antifreeze, and a new rack and pinion as it is now leaking too, so much fun. Cold weather reeks havoc on all sorts of machinery. Our temps are well below seasonal norm, and I getting real sick of this quick. I warmed up the Fargo and went fora short cruise, maybe not the best idea, but she ran perfectly, and warmed up not bad too....The pics..

Dan Hiebert Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I felt like that bull on the can this morning shoveling my driveway. 20 degrees out with 20 mph wind, colder out now. Tank-top and Bermuda shorts weather compared to Manitoba, but cold none-the-less. Gotta love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1940plymouth Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No snow here today, but we were out this morning by 5 am sanding the roads. It was ten above at that time. Supposedly we could get major snow over the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Most of last week minnesota was below zero. Couple of days the HIGH was a negative number. The teens we have been having the last few days feels like a heatwave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55 Fargo Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) No snowing for days, at least no accumulation. it was -30f this morning (record breaking for this date), dead still dry as the desert, and sunny. Went out side to do chores, does not feel much colder than 0f, it is so dry. The snow and ice is not wet or slippery at these temps, it is quite strange, gonna be close to 0 today, and 20 f tomorrow. i prefer cold dry to wet humid snow, or snow squalls and big storms like some areas get. This kinda cold and dry is safe to drive in, as long as your vehicle is in good shape, break downs in remote areas could be deadly. The heater in my 2005 Caravan, still gets stifling hot in these temps Edited December 15, 2013 by Fargos-Go-Far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 We start bundling up here when it gets below about 55F........ and anything below that "WE" doesn't like at all! Must have something to do with blood viscosity or something. One winter many years ago I spent a few weeks about 75 miles north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja Mexico. In the winter it probably averages between 80-85F in the day down to around 70-75F at night. The locals are so used to this that very few of their houses had any form of heat. While we were there a cold spell hit......maybe 50F. And honestly we all felt it as we were accustomed to much warmer temps. The locals were all shivering and some tried to heat their homes. At least 6 died as a result of carbon monoxide when they tried to heat their homes with charcoal grills. I will never forget this incident......just goes to show you that what is cold to one is freezing to another. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 well yesterday tailgating for the Vikings game, if you opened a beer, you had a 50/50 chance it would foam up and freeze solid in under 15 seconds...I got to carrying around my next barley pop in my jacket!
