[Vwdiesel] How cold is it?

[William J Toensing]

I think the proper term for global warming. Yesterday we got around 6" of snow & as I write this it is +18 above& most of the snow is still on the ground. The snow load took down two of my plastic car canopies One had my '80 Dasher diesel & the other had my M Benz 300SD.I have lived here since 1993 & this is the coldest I have seen it here. However, I am used to this weather as I previously lived in Minnesota (before 1969) & once saw -44F in on the thermometer. That was in Eden Prairie which was just farm land when I grew up, but is now an up scale suburb of Minneapolis. I think that was in 1950 or '51 & I had to walk to school as my 1940 Chevy wouldn't start.
By the way, I hope you all have anti-freeze in your cars or have drained the radiators.
