To tell ya the truth, don't know if I would bother Tink. It's too cold and dangerous to venture out, so take a nice day off and enjoy!!

Janet, I agree.
I called in and took a vacation day. I have NO desire to go out in this cold and jumped at the chance to stay home when my Manager suggested it. Katie got her car started, so she just left. Thank God hubby left his truck running the past 2 days so he didn't have to worry about that.

Hubby let his car run for 2 days??? Did he run out of gas? I think our wind chill was around 15 to 20 below today too! It's like you can feel it going right through you....I didn't used to mind the winter but, I find as I am getting older I could do with out it. I do like looking at the snow...I think the trees are so pretty all covered and it looks so clean....OK...back to summer now!

It was his semi tractor hubby left running. Since it runs on diesel, it gels up faster than gasoline, and is a nightmare to thaw back out. It costs between $650 - $800 to get a froze-up semi started again, and it's the driver that's responsible for that cost even if the truck belongs to a company. So it's by far less expensive to let them run when it's this cold.
The trucking company hubby drives for authorized him letting it run for those 2 days and it's THEM who pays for the fuel. LOL He does have a heater to plug the truck in, but in this extreme cold, it's not enough.
