+1 deg F. 1st time in 36+ hrs.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Idle question: Do people in MT still have block heaters installed on their rigs?

Helena got down to -35 two nights ago, just 2 degrees from the record. It was -19 when my daughter and I pulled into the parking lot at Great Divide this morning. Cold turns.

Last 2, yes and was glad I had them. Didn't have to start the truck the past 2 days so didn't matter. Amazing how warm 0 feels. We are now hardened for winter.

Gonna be dripping the faucets and curling up in sleeping bags tonight.

it's nething for it to be super cold out - it's another thing to go ski in it! I've been sequestered indoors for a week now.
half the community lost power last night while colder than -40 out. Gotta give props to the people that go out to fix the lines in those temps.

Temp is still dropping but I'm at a 46° drop in a little less than 14 hours. The rain turned to slush for the last half hour before it shut off and it crept into the car doors and froze them shut. I just went out and finessed them open before it became a bigger problem.

Gas valve in our 15 year old boiler bit the dust. Closest i could find the gas valve with parts to convert to LP was overnight from Ohio at $900. Similar weather here as gravity lover so overnight likely means Tuesday with the holiday. Going to install a new boiler this week instead with tankless on demand water heater too.
This morning I started Wimhof showers
. Good fun? Nope fing miserable.
Thank goodness for our fireplace. The thing is incredible. Heats the entire house to nudist temps except for the basement. Interested to see how it fares tonight with outside temps in the single digits.

Eek that sux! It's always at the worst time. Our furnace blew a hole in the burn chamber on a storm day back in 05. I got lucky and knew someone and he came with a new one and a crew at 10pm that night to replace it. When they were done at 1am he looked at me and said cash, no checks or cards. Who the fuck keeps $1500 in cash at home? His guys started taking it apart right then and I had to call the cops because it was 14° and snowing and we had 6 year old twins sleeping upstairs. What a mess that was...
It's down to 2° now making it a 53° drop since 6am. Thankfully there's almost no wind.

Sent from my SM-S908U1 using TapatalkNever in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

Update... Power still out in our neighborhood but there are trucks out dealing with the issue around the corner. Originally Posted by SumJongGuy

4000 wat generator will run crock pot, 5G home Wifi Router, bunch if little USP driven things and a 65" TV. Glad I added a nice outdoor antenna this year. Wife's hair dryer sent it in to a short fit last night though. She had no idea that would probably be a little too much with everything else running.Go that way really REALLY fast.

As standard equip my 2019 Taco came with the " Narthern package " so the block heater has a dedicated plug with a spring loaded cover mounted on the bumper with a special cord, I don't think its a standard package down in southern BC Originally Posted by Meadow Skipper

Most late model vehicles with a block heater have temp sensors that won’t kick the heater on until a certain temp is reached. I think our 1/2ton Chevy heater is set around -25C. It’s the old style traditional type plug. The newer vehicles in the work fleet have the new 3-prong insert on the bumper and come with the special cord. Betcha that special cord is 3X the cost of a standard ext cord, and not available at the local auto or hardware store - so don’t lose it, or worse drive away with it still attached!
