Well I just spent 40 minutes taking the Monte out of a 4 foot snow drift that is my driveway.
Took another 5 minutes to get it into the garage.
My company recently got bought by a bigger one...they have offices in Houston and Atlanta...think I should ask for a transfer??
I don't think I have seen snow like this since I was a kid...its nuts.

cars don't feel wind chill -10* out at 55mph the car is takin in air that is -10*. to you the wind chill would be -46* because of your "radiation" being pulled from around your body. that's the first thing they tell you in A/C class.

says right there a thermometer doesn't read any less with wind chill.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply the IAT sensor would read incoming air at -46*.
If the air is still it would read -10* but since the air is moving it is removing heat from a surface faster. I'm not saying the IAT sensor would read -46* but it would read cooler than if the vehicle was stationary and at idle.

Ok, well, it's now below 20* in Austin, and was bouncing into the 0-5* range with windchill last night and is supposed to again tonight. My car almost refused to run this morning, I don't think it knew what "cold" was!

If it snows here again, I've got nowhere to put it. This was from the 1st big one just before New Year's.
The Buick stays in the garage in the snow and slop and I drive the wife's '04 Highlander. That little truck can just about go through anything.

Midland had a little snow today....14" at least! That's according to the weatherman.
Mind you this is AFTER I move the car.
It was so white out, my camera was having epileptic seizures!

I'm used to the weather because Ive lived here for years... but anyone unfamiliar with the changes usually tends to be more upset about it lol.
