Well, I've got you all beat. In Bismarck ND a few nights ago, it was minus 44, without wind chill. That, my friends, is cold. The very next day, it was 36 above, for a temp change in 24 hours of 80 degrees!!. We also have set record snowfalls this winter as well, after being in a drought for about the last 12 years. I've got 10 foot drifts in front of my house. Luckily my new Box is on the lift in my somewhat heated garage. I agree with bmx, it is a great day when you can finally drive the car again in the spring, but I definitely will not be retiring up here in the cold. When my kids graduate, we're outta here......

Yeah... I like to hear about people in IL where their Great Lake doesn't freeze over Here in MPLS, MN it didn't get above 2 degrees for 5 or 6 days and yes it was colder than -27 :ah: Today it was +27 and every body was saying "Wow it feels like spring!" Yes it should warm up for you guys tomorrow! We get to go back into the sub zero freezer this next week again. Glad my car (Boxster) is in a heated garage..... I love my Subaru!
