Yikes! It got down in the 20's (F) here 2 nights ago and the natives nearly flipped out. God, I don't miss Illinois winters.

0 F here today...it took my engine about 10-15 mins to warm up....I was not happy waiting this long...Finally I just had to drive and it warmed up quickly once I was driving...

 

[ottawaP5]

Yeah they will warm up a lot quicker when you start driving.

I'll let it warm up for 5 min then i'll gently drive it untill it heats up.

my thermometer said 0.7*f this morning. it was wonderful

I think it was like twenty something degrees this morning, but that was fuggin cold. I had to walk my girl's dog, and he seemed to take so long to do his bizzness. Ugh.

In Toronto, right now it's like -20 outside (that's celcius) but like
-35 with the windchill. Thank God for garages, I could not expose my baby to these elements

Jesus! -44!?!?!?!?! You must have to have an engine block heater right?

-11 this morning here and I hate it!

I think you got the cold front that we had sweep through here last week! As I recall it was about -35 celsius and got as cold as -48 with the wind chill!

Damn celsius scale...why do you (and the rest of the world, too)have to be so pragmatic?

 

[ottawaP5]

don't worry at -40 celsius and farenheit are the same!

Ceej, no block heater....I should have negotiated one....

I'll let you know if she started!

-36 this morning in Hamilton.

The car started after with 1 turn of the key, but I did have to hold it for like 5 seconds or so.

Also, the clutch pedal was absolute MUSH. I pushed it down and it took like 10 seconds to come back up... I also had to row through the gears a few times while I was idling to loosen them up. Guess that tranny fluid starts to thicken up a bit in the cold...

[ottawaP5]

Well it started after turning over 5 times.

And your right about the clutch pedal..absolute mush.

The motor also sounded like a desiel.
