    it's a really nice sunny day here and coming up to around -14C, I live in the warmer part of the province. (we're at about -38F with windchill most days in the morning though)

    What a cute little toy! You going to use that instead of a window scraper? :lol:

    How about a 36-inch, 6-speed, 10-hp, 2-stage John Deere snow thrower that'll chuck rocks 100 feet? :snowblower: :Thumbsup: :devil:

    Started some snow showers here...

    The news stories about roads not being plowed are hilarious. Put the correct type of tires for the conditions on your car people.

    Heh.

    I like having snow on the roads - there's a lot more traction than on just ice.

    I think the first Gens. have better plowing abilities in deep snow, than the newer Gens do, with the blunter front ends...

    My 03 justa could push snow for 50 miles of axle deep snow:Thumbsup: in a snowstorm:crazy:

    The question should cease to be 'How Cold Is It?' but rather 'How Much Longer Cold Is It?'.

    I had a 28" tracked 2 stage Honda while in Northern Michigan. It still took me 1 1/2 hours every other day. I finally gave in and got a plow. 15 min for mine then do the neighbors.

    Does that plow attach to the front tow hook fitting on your MINI, or did you have to bolt it to the front subframe? :lol:

    keeping it frosty !

    As of Tuesday, Minneapolis has seen 42 sub-zero nights, which is currently 3 shy of getting into the "Top 10 Winters for Days with Low Below Zero".

    The other important note is that there were 17 consecutive days in a row with sub-zero lows and this is tied for the 8th longest streak in (MN) recorded history.
