Hey same thing with my dads Camry when we went to the mountains...in CA! So don't feel so bad.

[princess]

Oh burrrrrr! I whine when we get stuck in the 40's!

[Bean]

Yeah, it is cold out.
I even had to close my windows last night! :)

Brrrr! (http://www.weather.com/weather/local/33412?lswe=33412&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared)

[princess]

Woa! It's Bean! Howdy!!!

I thought I was bad, but on a Dec. '01 trip to FL the locals were in their woolies when it hit the 60's!

[JohnF]

It's been -40 Degrees for a week here. ( I don't know in faranheit)

This is REALLY REALLY COLD !! You can't imagine.

But My accord did a very good job and it started every time !! :D

Yesterday it was colder in mtl than it was in north pole :bawling:

[princess]

I think my toes would just leave & say see ya down south! That's waaaaay to cold for me!!!

[BenjiBoy650]

Hey do you guys use a block heater? Any good? I want one cuz I'm tired of waiting for heat and then when I turn it on the engine goes back to cold again :D

[JohnF]

When you use a block-heater it will heat your engine in the night to help it start the day after. But it wont make you car warm immediatly when youll start it.

If you have a brand new car, or a accord :D , you don't need a block-heater.

If you drive a Topaz 87, then you'll need one cuz you're gonna get stuck that's for sure. :p

I am trying to post a pic of mine in its first winter but the pics are messed up . 3 weeks ago it was -35 and -60 windchill brrrr

[jbuffethed]

The block keeps the oil from getting to thick. If your get the heater that goes in line with the coolant, your car will be somewhat warm or warm faster than without. Up here its a good idea to get a battery warmer too. If that gets to cold your car wont even turn over. there were a few days that mine barely turned over. -30

Oh burrrrrr!! Today we're whining about high winds. They're getting stronger as the front comes through & earlier they were at 79 mph in some areas here! That's hurricane strength!! The rain is sideways & some bay area places will be getting more than 3" today. There's flood warnings. The coast is expecting 40' waves. I'm sure some crazy surfers will go out anyway! They do it every time.

Our temps aren't bad.... in the 50's. I'm sure hwy 1 will have the usual slides & the ocean will come up over in places not far from BB650. There will be some flooding in the north bay near Santa Rosa area & Napa. We will be fine. The Delta is a mile away & we don't live near any small streams. So as long as our roof stays on, we're OK. We'll have to inspect it over the weekend after this is all done.

The only way pictures seem to be posting is if you link them to another site. It's the same problem I'm having with posting more bulletins.

[BenjiBoy650]

Whining about winds? Who's whining? :) Haven't heard any slides yet so I think we're still okay. The whole thing blew over quicker than I expected, already getting sun. Haven't seen the waves, though I wish I could.

This morning was real fun. I saw an idiot classmate in an old El Camino try to impress his girlfriend and spin it. I loved it, laughed all the way to school haha. Then I got to school and parked in the last spot even though high winds and heavy rain, because I knew that nobody else would park near there :)

[princess]

I'm whining!! Today I have a house full of munchkins! The youngest one is sleeping now & the older 3 are watching a Disney movie. They can't play outside because 2 of the 4 have ear infections. So I'm definately whining! My daughter had to get that Civic smogged. Then she'll do the DMV run for registration. This has been for 3 hours.....so far.

It's actually gone well, they're busy, but great kids. We did homework, colored, read, did dress up (I have knight stuff for the boys), had 2 snack times, then watched Lion King 1 1/2. I'm tired, but they still have energy left!!

The gas fireplace in the bedroom keeps going on, so it's says it's still cold in here...even if it's stopped raining. It's still very windy here. There's some sort of rescue going on from a news clip I heard.

[jbuffethed]

my cars first winter, that is all ice

[princess]

I'm gonna start whining all over again! BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRR!!!!:sorry:

[BenjiBoy650]

Damn it's a brand new car and it already has a bald spot?! What is that, your heated rearview mirror or something? :)

[princess]

Here I sit in the backyard in the shade with the temp is about 80.......ahhhhhh!;)

[jbuffethed]

Oh boy we had a hot streak today, it hit 46 lol. cant wait to go back home to Tampa, for some really nice weather

[princess]

Must be quite a shock to your system being in a REAL winter, coming from FL!!

[jbuffethed]

it had its times. wasnt too bad except for the few days that your skin would burn if it werent covered being so cold. Its great here :D

[BenjiBoy650]

I wish it were winter instead of this annoying 80 degree heat that you can't even sleep in!
