We're going to be breaking record lows this weekend, especially Sunday morning with the whole state getting below zero with wind chill temps 15 to 20 degrees below that. Rick, you gotta send some of that warm weather this way!!

Tramps like us, Baby we were born to run...
Just returned home from San Diego yesterday. Stayed at the Hilton at La Jolla and they were watering the grass at Torrey Pines in 70 degree temps. The course looked like it was mid June.
I Returned home to Denver to 60 Degree temps. This is January in the Rockies, correct? Not sure I've ever had the Boss out in January in the six plus years of ownership but I'll have to let her run this weekend.

Tyme, Seems like I'm getting your weather and you're getting mine...I want mine back!. Two degrees this AM and not getting above 10 today with wind chills values -20. Take that Boss out! I'm sure you don't get that many chances this tyme of year. My Boss will have to stay in since many roads are still snow covered and salt laden. Plus, with this extreme cold my OEM battery is starting go much quicker than I anticipated.Enjoy your ride!
Upon further review, Tyme is really getting spoiled with his weather. Normal around here this tyme of year is highs 35-38, lows 20-25.Our highs this year haven't even got to the normal lows! Tyme count your blessings!

Bob - I replaced my battery this year. That would be year six. It may be tyme for you to change yours too. Throw a Voltmeter on there. I trickle mine every winter but a six year life span isn't that unusual.
Tyme, I know you're right. I was just spoiled by the performance my Crown Vic Battery supplied.It was over 7 yrs old and still going strong, All tho it never experienced a cold winter like this. Being the cheapskate I am I may have to succumb and replace my OEM battery to continue with my Boss adventures...I'll see if it starts tomorrow after these sub zero temps tonite...............
Did more shoveling today. At this stage of the game you space things out after a 12" plus blizzard with 2 ft drifts. Coldest morning here in years..below zero! Attached garage temp 35 degrees...it never goes below 50 in a NORMAL winter. Tried Starting the Boss With the OEM battery and was very slow but still turned over. The AVG MPG display was back to zero again so I realize the battery is trying to save things that are more important. They say a thaw is coming next week....I hope they're right.

Don't make me feel bad for driving both the Boss and FakeR today! Best of luck - stay warm AND safe!
Better days are coming! With the January thaw coming (temps 40's to near 50) roads will be wet with melting snow. Not ideal Boss conditions ...maybe next week?

We were above zero today! Unbelievable! Got almost a foot of snow but it's so balmy out that for the first time this year we had neighbours doing the neighbourhood driveway clean outs and they actually stood and chatted instead of just running for warmth!

I'll leave now, I figure it'll take me about 15 days to get over your way, given that the blower travels about 1 km/hr. So hang on, I'm on the way!

What's a snow shovel?
It's an implement used to break one's back if one is so inclined! With last week's blizzard mine is working quite well.

Tyme, 60's in Colorado in January can't be normal.....You must have warmed up the atmosphere over there with all your Christmas lites...wait til they find out you're the real cause of global warming...I wish you could have set up something here in Ct a few weeks ago....

A combo of the Boss and the lights I reckon.
Tyme, Your warmth is headed this way with a big rain storm coming in Friday nite into Saturday.Now I have to shovel a waterway for all this water to go down the street instead of my driveway since the plows blocked that access..........Well at least the coming storm will be rain and not snow!
