Came through late December 22. Temp dropped from like 60 to the 20s in a couple hours. Insane north winds. I flew out the next morning and it was like 15 degrees. A little rain had fallen as the front came through so the roads were a little slick but not enough to shut anything down. Flew out AEX and everything was fine there but DFW had some early morning ice issues that caused delays.


The second night I woke up to my truck horn blaring. The cold had somehow made the circuit close. I had to go out in 11 degrees and disconnect the battery.

I went to work before sunrise that morning in Funroe and it was 10 degrees. Learned that day there's a big difference in 32 degrees and 10 degrees.

Sounds like “RAM” owner problems.

Weather.com isn't predicting crazy temps for NOLA just yet. Some nights in the 30s and that is about it.

I had a push button tractor ignition freeze in the depressed postion with the starter engaged. Fried my wiring. Now when the temp goes below 20 I carry a torch to remedy the situation immediately.

No it doesn't


Okay bad choice of words on my part. It is not expired.

I should have said, that it doesn't taste as good as when it is first purchased or opened.

WHOA!

If this holds, looking at around 8" or so.here in West Central Georgia.

Measurable snow falls off of the table right at the Fall Line.

Also, if this model is anything close to accurate, the 85 corridor from around Commerce GA all the way up through Charlotte is fuuucccked.
