Minus 35?    Bugger that, it was minus 8 this morning and that was cold enough for me - I'm definitely a summer person 

[Rods2]

Yesterday morning it was -36degC when my wife got up and a bit warmer at -32degC when she walked to school,  she had an easy day as no lessons to teach, just a school concert.

Coldest temperature I've known in the Ukraine, I don't know what the record is.

Today I checked the gas meter.. in 1 week we spend half of the monthly gas..
 
before everything, these kinds of colds require a stronger budget and a different planning.. .. I'm not used to that
 
 
and today we woke up with snow again    good side temperatures become much better , bad side I need to clean 2 cars and the road again

people must be used to those temperatures.. and arrange their life accordingly.. but here, life comes to a halt..
 
parking areas of job is covered with more than half a meter snow (which is also from before), small streets dangerous to pass because most cars are high and the snow in between tire tracks became ice as it is..  so I cant pass without hitting under the car neither clit nor omega.. yesterday the places I need to visit parking areas were like graveyards for cars.. 40 cm packed snow and ice around parking areas , you need to climb and park inside and try go outside later.. thanks to residents of those areas

I've often wondered how the break cars work in these sort of temperatures, can antifreeze really work as low as minus 35? Round here, my windscreen washers give up at about minus 5, no matter what concentration they are.

Does the car ever actually get warm? The inside I mean...

both cars need 2 times longer distance to heat up unless you wait in front of home (means you reach job cold) , my windscreen washer give up around -10 , but anyway unnecessary as there is no mud or water around    (except today)
 
 ps: here lowest temperatures reach max -27 according to met.. no probs with cars engines however.. (but cant say the same for neighbours diesels!)

Pile of wood under the fuel tank, light wood, problem solved

(Add another fire under the sump for when it's really, really cold)

[cem_devecioglu]

[Rods2]

I though you were going to say you had made it a custom open top miggy to make the most of 'summer' weather.

Well,its snowed all night here at work and its a good four inches deep this morning.Has drifted to a lot more than that in places.
My car looked like an estate this morning as the snow had been driven from behind it and built up into almost a large box stuck on the back of it.Took a pic with phone,poor quality,but might upload it later.
Still not sure if Im going home in an hour or not. I think I will go out and  (hopefully) fit my snow chains in the meantime.

[albitz]

Got one snow chain on,cant get the other one on for some reason.One snow chain is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I think I may have posted this in the wrong thread,would have been better in the other snow thread.

   I hope you will sort it..
 
personally when in job dresses and my hands gets frozen near a busy ,icy roadside I cant properly put those chains on.. its not like practicing in hot weather when the tires out.. so gave up using them long time ago..
