We are in a blizzard right now on cape cod in Falmouth, and I couldn't be happier to have my heep starts like s*** in the cold( we have a windchill of 0) but nothing can put the heep down. 4wd is working great, have heat everything's swell out here. Thought I'd share my experience good day to all.

Battery from this century and 5w30 will take care of starting issues. 0 degrees fahrenheit is nothing

When in the Air Force I was stationed at Otis AFB, 64/65. Froze my nads off during the winter but liked the Cape during the summer.

Had a 59 VW Beetle back then. Of course the POS heater didn't work.

This winter has been a monumental disappointment. It hasn't rained since December 19th, we've already had temperatures in the 90s, wildfires, the local ski resorts have all closed, the snow pack in the Sierras is at 5% of normal. I know this sounds like a dream to many but I love winter, even here in Southern California, it's a nice respite from the heat of every other season and while our 14 inches of average precipitation isn't much, it's enough. We've had less than 1 inch of rain this entire season. Winter has passed us by this year and I envy your snow and cold.

Sorry to take it F1, but we needed it up in CO

5% snowpack is no good.
