Frickin' cold outside. A tip from the state capitol

"Cars: Bang on the hood before starting the car, to startle any animals that may be sleeping under there."





I wonder how many people do this on a regular basis?



NWS shows that we'll be dropping way below 0*F tonight, and will not see any temperatures above 0*F until Tuesday afternoon. :aww:

I just bought a little electric heater for my one stall garage. I had planned on trying out my new ONR on Sunday. -30 wind chill... :nervous2:

Do you have a concrete slab in your garage? I have a small ceramic heater, but it's pretty much useless in the garage at cold temps. I'm looking at a Modine Hot Dawg heater, but depends if I expand the house or not!!

I would think alot of people don't. The company driver where I work may start though. We've been in the 20's or less than zero for a couple of weeks now and it seems Friday morning he had a hard time starting the pickup. Popped open the hood and a big ol rat came jumping out.



Poor old guy damn near dropped dead right there on the spot.

We had a high of 60 degrees here in Austin, Texas. It was quite nice... :sign
