Wow, 14 degree's right now with a -3 wind chill, supposed to get down to 9 degree's

The rest of the weeks forecast doesn't look much better. http://www.connectamarillo.com/weather/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I had plans of going to Childress Friday night with some friends to do a little hog hunting on a river, then staying the night and hunting deer all day.. Think I'll change those plans. Friday night 9 degree's.. Saturday night 7

It gets cold here, but you dont normally see extended lows like this... High 10's and low 20's at most..

Yowsers.

2 years ago when I went to NM to pick up my new car, I got caught in a lovely snowstorm just outside of there. You'd be amazed what you can make a car do in the snow on an empty freeway at sane speeds. I've never driven in snow before until then.

It's still in the 60's here, but the snap should hit us by midnight or so.

Thats partly why I like winter, empty roads, which means my own personal playground Doesn't matter how bad it gets I have to be able to move around, because of what I do you cant just tell them the roads are too bad and I cant make it... Makes for some fun trips to and from work..


I've been called 5 times since I posted this, been to the shop once because of fuel gelling up, and I'm sure I'll be back a few times tonight.. Doesn't seem cold enough, but that ultra low sulfur diesel is junk.. Makes for good job security during this kind of weather.. I'm sure we'll be covered up tomorrow.

I left the diesel truck at home and took the gasser.. 25 miles 1 way to the shop, took 15 miles for the temp gauge to even show anything. Got to the shop, got the reefer running in about 30 mins, walked out to start the truck up about 10 mins before I left, and both the water temp and oil temp gauges were bottomed out I've had the truck in much colder weather, but I've done a lot of upgrades on the cooling system, so I always have to block the radiator off, just didnt do it this time around. Think I will tomorrow though..
