Ron,
Thats not cold. I thought you guys in Ottawa were used to much colder than that!

OK, so I turn into a wuss when one or more of the following things happen:
I don't dare run my car through the car wash to remove the 1/2" of road salt
that has collected in every nook and cranny cuz' the doors/windows would
freeze and I wouldn't get back into the vehicle until March.
When my front windshield cracks from the cold cuz' the moisture in a rust
spot around the window (from the 1/2" of salt) expands in the cold and the
pressure has to go somewhere. ( $504, paid earlier today...happy ______ New
Year!)
I have to heat my car key with a lighter in order to thaw the ignition switch enough to run the key.
When the tires are "flat-spotted" from sitting overnight at -35, and I stand
a good chance of losing every filling in my teeth before I reach the end of
the block.
When I can spit and it freezes before it hits the ground.
All things considered, I may wait until Spring (July?) before I visit Happy
Valley, where the real men live!
Regards,
Ron
