28 below today, 31 with the wind chill. tomorrow is supposed to be 36 below, and 43 with the windchill. temps are in celcius, southeastern alberta. anyone else experiencing this sudden shock of winter? 2 weeks ago i was riding my motorbike...

the 2.8 barely started today, even plugged in! hopefully the 4.0 in my 97 will be able to handle the weather tomorrow

Glad we dont have temps like that dont here in TN like that! The only thing i like about winter is when it snows and the holidays. But yea northern wind has blowed a cold front in on us, just last week it was in the upper 60's. Now 40's is all we are gettin, got down 17 degrees night before last. Im ready for spring!

the 20's! how about -40 f hahaha. yeah the v6 needs some serious pumping to get it to run, it has a hard enough time running in the summer lol. when i used to drive my MJ that thing would start in this weather unplugged like nothing. i dunno why, but that thing was unstoppable. too bad the truck fell apart, motor is still running great

We have been getting hit with some pretty cold weather lately to. This past week has been in the single digits at night and the teens during the day. Not as bad as last year when we had a night that was -17 degrees. That was brutal for here. Jeep starts up everytime though.
