Didn't expect it to get that cold last night. Kinda like Crumm or Canadian weather. Last week it was 35 degrees and 16" of snow. Did get 41 hours overtime plowing and sanding tho. Seems like winter arrived during x-mass and new year with a bang. What ever happened with that global warming thing?

It was -26 at 5:00 am, but I didn't plug the truck in. It had only been sitting for about 8 hours, so it fired about decently, considering the cold.

They will start at -26° but the oil is like molasses. Much easier on the engine to plug it in. After 8 hours there is no heat left in the engine. I hear people around here talking about how there vehicles start fine at -30° so why plug them in then a few months later you hear them talking about how there rig is in the shop getting a new engine.
