Update:


If it keeps up this cold very long, then I might need to increase the pace I shovel wood to fireplace

Those wise mens of NASA have told how it is 30 years of warmer, which is followed 30 years of colder. If cold keeps getting worse at this rate, then this country soon might be in a big trouble, Vodka will freeze at these temps

Dude! Extra fluffy duvet/blonde bed warmers required!

Really can't imagine what that must be like

its -3 here tonight.
I cant imagine that temperatures below this even exist.......

Going in the right direction today...

Around -15C here, so it is more human, more snow falling from sky, soon it will be over and temps will go down again.

VND, there was something in that Telegraph that there would be -7C coming to you

No. And even if they do, all Volvolife will still roll on, even in much harder frost.

I dunno man, mine cut out the other day. I didnt like that feeling. I think it was protesting about the temperature. Which reminds me.................... thread jack ends.

I had Gammon flu.
It started as swine flu, but the doctor 'cured' me.

Good job it wasn't bird flu - you might have ended-up being stuffed.....

My friend had swine flu, he said he couldn't stop coming out in rashers

I rang the Swine Flu Helpline.
All I got was crackling though.

I have to admit, driving in temperatures below -15°C the Roulunds belts squeal a lot. They never seem to get into working temperature and slip a bit all the time. And it's worst at 20-40 km/h which is most of my trip to work. Naturally it doesn't help that I currently don't have the gearbox protective tray fitted. It's the only bad thing about the cold though. Oh and the constant fiddling with the choke for the first two kilometers or so. And scraping the windows clear of frost. And... oh well.
