Damn, it's COLD outside!

[GPIDEAL]

It's days like this that I LUV the bum warmer option in my car. Even if the rest of me is an icicle my tushy is just fine. I have to protect my assets!

... and you don't even have to drive a BMW X1 to warm up your bum. Mind you, when I parked outside (stayed at a hotel Saturday night), my car crank was slower than ever by noon the next day, but it started.

Unbelievably cold. Took out my down-filled arctic coat.

So sad. 29 year old wheelchair bound man froze to death lying in his own driveway in Etobicoke. The taxi dropped him off and then just drove away. In Winnipeg taxis are required to eyeball the customer right into their house and not just dump them on the driveway and drive away.

I never head that but it certainly is sad. Poor guy should've had a cell phone on him. Yes, the taxi driver should've assisted. WTF!

OMG. He lives not far from me and even closer to my mom.

i was planning on hobbying to but in this weather, forget it. It's not easy for me to make the trip to downtown because I don't have a car. I have to take the subway and there is often quite a bit of walking involved.

Yes they do, but sadly it took a couple of incidents like this before it happened. Three or four years ago a fellow in his 70's was sent home from the hospital in a cab wearing nothing but a hospital gown under his coat and never made it into the house. Hopefully the same change will happen in the GTA.

Typical Canadian winter.

Time for something to warm me up and reinvigorate the mind. Time for the perfect winter food.

It's supposed to get warmer tomorrow. ..though still c c c cold...I plan on warming up with Ms. Beleza, and if I have enough energy left after that, I'm heading to Blue Mountain to cool off with some laps to celebrate my birthday.

I've got heated seats. You know you've got more money than brains when you buy a new car because a fuse blows

If of course anyone took that post seriously other than the X1 is a nice little SUV and not that expensive. $36990

Its not gonna warm up till first week of March.

So another 2 weeks or so and we'll be through the worst of it

Was out cycling between 8:30 -9:30 this morning doing some errands, not cold at all, If you dress properly for this weather , you will be warm- I wore a winter cap with ear flaps under my helmet, down filled winter parka and a scarf to cover my face -keeps me very warm!

.... I didn't land in her lap, it might have a LOT more comfortable than the spill I took off of my last jump...landing on your back...not recommended.

Although I am a skeptic, when are we getting that "Global Warming?"

I agree. When I heard this I was surprised.

"January second-warmest on record globally"

It's fucking nuts. I'm really getting tired of this relentless sub zero cold, and I was in Cuba in January. Fuck this shit. I'm going to have to get a place down south some day.

I had to put some air in one of my car tires and took my glove off for about a minute to operate the air hose... and i got frost burn on two of my fingers...
The good news, it's not the hand I usually do my hobbying with ... but damn it stings like a bugger

 

[abv]

hmm yes... great day for the heat in my car to just quit.

Just no power, won't turn on at all. I'm hoping its a fuse and not the blower motor.

My key fob clicker thing quit working the other day when it was -23C. Replaced the battery. Nothing.
I waited untill it warned up a bit then checked the fuse. It looked OK so I put it back. I tried the clicker & it worked.

How'd you make out with your car problem?
