Cold Starting Problem...

Last year they had quite a lot of snow in Belgium and the country literally ground to a halt for about 2 days. :lol:

They very rarely get any heavy snow over there so they were not at all prepared for it and had no clue how to deal with it.

lay a heated blanket over it till the ice lossens around the door

Well said.

Have things warmed up for you, Clocker?

Nope, still snowing.

It's raining here. Surprise surprise.

Snow? I haven't even started thinking about that yet.
It's like 14 during the day here in my part of canadia. :unsure:
Glad to see something to look forward to though. :frusty:

I'm gonna guess they had no clue how to deal with it, given they rarely get any heavy snow?


I'd like to try some of that Denver snow.

I'll try to dig up some pictures from a few years back...

It's cut too much for my taste, Kevin, but still...

Little known fact...Denver gets more days of sunshine than Miami and it's rare to go more than a day or so without sun.

The problem with this storm is that it started as freezing sleet, so underneath the snow is a nice glaze of ice and slush.
Even the 4 x 4's are sliding around, it would be suicidal for me to attempt going anywhere- even if the ice didn't get me the car would high center on the drifts.

Winter ain't my favorite season but we're projected to be in the 60° range again by Monday, so I'll just grin and bear it.

Ha ,didn't know about the Miami-Denver thing.

And yeah, if there's ice beneath then don't drive. Even chains won't help. Warming up quickly ain't good. The snow will look like shit and there'll be lots of water, lol.
