That "super volcano" is keeping things more temperate over there! memtb

Dang ! I forgot that... Needs to warm 50 miles west also

 

[WYO300RUM]

I got up early the other day and noted the temperature to be a BRUTAL +18deg. Rolled over and pulled the comforter over my head. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr LMAO

Real funny.... Goose season ends Sunday. I may do the same ! Lol !

 

[WYO300RUM]

It's -10 right now. Snowed all day. It's 5 in Yellowstone about 3k higher !

We got some snow also......but, you have to look pretty hard to find it! memtb

I've gotta wonder - for you guys in the upper mid-west (or Canada for that matter); what do you do to your vehicles so that they start when its well below zero? Block heaters?

Yes . Block heaters . Good batteries. Fuel additives and starting fluid if needed.

I don't use a block heater on my Cummins until we hit a -20 F or below! She does just fine! memtb

A little bit of a stretch.....we had nothing until the last week or so. We've got about 2" "stacked-up" now! I actually had to sweep the sidewalk today!

I just took a photo of the accumulation on a table.....which hasn't melted off over the last several weeks. More than I thought, but that is about 2 weeks of accumulation. memtb

Hard on batteries I think. Ford recommends 0 and below. I like the heater working quick with pre warmed engine. I don't like freezing steering wheels either ! Lol ! Gloves...

about a week's worth. Still snowing. Thru tomorrow it says.

RUM, I suppose that the yard photo is from drifting! We rarely get wind, so no drifting here! Present conditions here! memtb

Apparently a 50 DE can be changed to 44 mag w/just BBL and mag change in seconds. Can it be 'downgraded' to 357 mag, and what would that take?

 

[scope-eye]

When I got mine I had they option of 44 Mag or 50AE same price, the 44 Mag had more mag capacity.
