No snow here so far, but today it is on the minus side on the celsius scale - fine weather though - yesterday was on the + side, but rainy and stormy.

It was showing +4 to +6C today and we have had Wind and very heavy rain for days now, The nearby hills are white we have had sleet and hail for good measue
We just got a new Valtra 125HP tractor so no need for a clutch any more.
It has 2 steering wheels you just turn the seat around and drive it backwards, No handbrake lever just put the forward reverse lever below neutral and the brake goes on.
But we /I still have to load the salt from the ground with a shovel!!!!

:rockn:

It is seldom -33 celsius here, but it happens.

.....quite often between -20 and -30 in winter though.

Shoot me now!

Dont your tires freeze?

The coldest we have had this winter has been -6C and that was for about 3 hours.

Thats a quilted boilersuit thick jacket hat and gloves and sit in the pick up with the heaters on type of cold!

So ST is it properly dark for the 60 days or is there enough ambiant light to do stuff?

Scot, it is right at Zero Celsius right now, and a bit windy - maybe 8-10" of snow on the ground. There are dusk for a few hours each day.

It has been about the minus 20 mark a few times, but not much more so far this winter - and NO, the car tires doesn't freeze.....:greenchainsaw:

BRRRR!!!!
I just bought headed winscreen washer jets for my van, Im fed up with them freezing up 2 miles away from my house after being thawed out!
Might need to shape the holes a bit but it will be worth it!
I guess you plug your Volvo in to the electric when not being used?

No, it manages just fine without that, also in minus thirty......

Our nice new Valtra Tractor has a mains heater built in and the cable is sitting in a drawer.

If it ever hit -30 here i think the whole country would stop!
They salt the roads here but the salt stops working at -12????

They use some salt here as well on the main roads - I hate it.......:censored:

If it ever hit -30 here evryone would freeze to death. Most homes here aren't built and insulated for that kind of cold. I know mine isn't.

Is your cottage heated all the time? Or do you drain off the water when your not there?

Makes the car really dirty really quick!
Cars here used to rust like you wouldnt belive and if you went to Europe the same age of car was perfect.
The salt on the roads gets the blame.
The newer range of cars are fine 1995 Audis look like they just came out of the factory!

You do use windshield washer antifreeze good to -45 right?
I was in Europe really the middle east (Cyprus) from the 5to 19 and was watching the BBC and the Scottish weather -6 and 5cm of snow they made it sound like the end of the world on the new's! I called home to hear it was -34 windchill -44 and 40cm of snow! I have to say it was funny to me to see how a bit of cold weather and snow affected other parts of the world. Oh I run studded tires in winter makes a big difference in how fast you can stop and at least 1000lbs of wood in the back of the old chevy.
Oh I did meet a few Scott's wile on Vacation and shared a few pints with them.
