Re: Its cold in NJ

Re: Its cold in NJ

Four days and we're off to Sarasota for a little warmer weather ! :D

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

That sucks. I did it to my Excursion last winter.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

This Blows.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

You won't find any warm weather in south Florida either. 30's tonite and they even throw the term "wind chill" into the forcast.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

One Inch of snow and they get called off school?

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

At 8:00AM it was 4.7 F with about a 30 mph wind. At the first real cold, I allways have a fleeting thought about my winterization job. Doug

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

It doesn't take much for my county to close school. There is not even enough snow for the kids to play in. :confused:

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Well Chris and Wes you only need it to drop another 17* or so to match what we have this morning...
Here's the stats right now (-9* without the windchill) and just to warm me up I put a pic of late August!!! :cool:

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Came to work 11pm last light and couldn't unlock the truck after a day of rain then 22* temps :mad:

Whatever happened to global warming? It was -2 here this morning. There's enough ice on the lake to skate on now.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

The whole global warming thing is pretty interesting.... It actually makes for more extreme seasons. Just think, somewhere else in the world the temp is well above normal.

Re: Its cold in NJ

He's back!!!!
Missed you buddy...
We are in hibernation over here.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

I was in St. Kitts last week. Wish I was still there!!

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

In this thread I have seen TWO broken windshields from engaging the defroster in cold weather. TANTRUM - what kind of truck is it, and is it covered by warranty ?

I've been in 35 below ( without the wind chill, Saranac Lake NY ) and never seen that happen.
What's funny is that when your antifreeze freezes solid, your vehicle overheats.
Oxymoronic or what . . . ( if not, at least it's ironic ) . . .

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

-1 this morning. I HATE winter.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

No such thing. Global warming is warm liberal poop! Guys already have fishing shanties on the lake - 4 inches of ice already and no snow. Anyone got an ice boat forsale?

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Apparently HOTBOAT had the same thing happen this AM as Tantrum. I have never seen it happen with the defroster. I pulled my truck into a warm garage after being out in -25F and it happened, but never have I seen a defroster do it! What kind of toxic chit you guys in NJ have in your ANTIFREEZE? :evilb:

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Heater is just running and running$$$$$$$$$ :rolleyes:

Looks a little chilly in Miami as per the game!! :evilb: :D

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Yeah, I couldn't get my truck started this am. I plugged in the block heater tonight and we'll see in the am.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

It is going to get in the single digits in Oklahoma this week too :(

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Had -15 here this morning, supposed to get to 18-20 ABOVE zero today! Heatwave! Then rain on thursday. Whats up with that?

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

Good question. Before last winter, I never had it happen to me, even in well below zero temps. When it happened to my Excursion, I had just gotten a stone chip in the windshield. (Incidentally, on my way home from Canada, where it was -20, and my windshield had been fine.)
When it happened, the truck was covered in ice. I went out to scrape it off, and got the door open first so I could start it. As I was scraping the back window, I heard a pop up front, and knew exactly what it was. The main crack went right through the stone chip, so that must have had something to do with it.
Fortunately, it was way cheaper than I thought it would have been.

Re: Its cold in NJ
 

I had a couple things going against me.
I have an auto start and dindnt put the defroster on the night before as I usually do. The windshiels had some ice on it and I have several chips.
The truck ran for about 10-15 minutes and the motor was warm so when I turned the defroster on it was very warm air comming out. The crack shot acrross the windshield right through an existing chip.
The truck is an '02 Tahoe Z71 with 80k miles. The chips and high milage come from Snowmobile trips where last year we were in -35*+ several times so I think it more of a fluke thing than a manufacturing problem. 8* is cold but not that cold.
New windshiels, battery, fuel filter, belts etc, and a full grease job to push and moisture out is being done today to get ready for snowmobiling.

Chris, Did you get your picture? :D
