-2° at the ol' homestead, and most of the way to work, too. Some low-lying clouds kept us from getting as cold as predicted, but I see some -10 and -12 readings on the east side of town. And it's dropped to -4 now, in the pre-dawn chill that begins a couple of hours before sunrise.
And that doesn't include the dense fog I drove through, part of the way here. It's always fun when the headlights frost over, mid-drive. At least with the block heater and the blast furnace under the dash, there's no problem keeping the windows clear from the get-go.
This truck was originally sold in Fairbanks, and the heater will drive you out, if you don't turn the temp cooler after a couple of miles. The Expedition had a great heater, but it took forever to get warmed up all the way. This one is much faster.
And in Alaska, a quick source of heat comes in pretty handy. :)
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

My son bought a 99 Ford Sable that has as a heater that blows air for the depths of hell, while our 01 Olds Silhouette is not that great, after all its a Fla car.....LOL
Rob - you're cracking me up!
"Blast furnace". Funny :) And I'll bet they're a lot of people on the east coast that'll wish they had blast furnaces in the next 24 hours.
Thanks, Cathy. Since a majority of us here have four-wheel-drive vehicles with studded snow tires, not much slows us down. I can tell you with personal experience that a non-functioning heater is one thing that will.
