So it was so cold today, that when I drove the truck out of my driveway, the flat spot on the tires actually stayed flat and rigid for more than a block.

Fuck all this.

I had one a couple weeks ago. It was so cold that my windshield wiper fluid turned to ice as soon as it hit my window. Couldn't see until the truck warmed up enough to melt it with the defroster.

I love when that happened on my trip. Could see out the window. Had use my dirty undies in windshield wiper fluid to clean my windows. I had -30 fluid in there but the motor kept freezing up

I got lucky and my wipers cleared a hole right as it froze. Haha. I was seriously wondering what the fuck at first until I realized it had iced up. Was like 37 degrees, but wind chill because I was moving was enough.

Windchill doesn't drop the ambient temperature, just cools warm things down to the ambient temp at a faster rate.
*Reading rainbow logo*

My washer fluid is good to -40, and it wasn't flowing. Just a note.

Everytime I'm ready to leave so cal I end up reading about some other shit hole with horrible weather and I'm like.....nah I'm good

Every time I'm ready to leave Saskatchewan I read about some other shithole being on fire, or flooding, or getting nailed by a hurricane, or living in fear of an earthquake, or getting giant tornadoes, and I'm like nah, I'm good. It's just cold.

Honestly our weather is weird but not so extreme. Occasional blizzard, occasional tornado, rain from hurricanes.. but not a lot of extremes.

Edit: weird like 60 degree swings in the temperature in a day.

Fuck man amazon has spoiled us with their promptness that when they screw up it feels like a personal attack. Been waiting for a god damn delivery all day and they've changed the projected time 3 times now. Might have to bail on it, was waiting for new lenses for glamis this weekend and am starting to watch the traffic get worse and worse

Hate that shit.

My fucking RC truck batteries better show up today so I can take them this weekend. I haven't checked yet.
