If you'd really like to compare, it was -12F outside my apartment at 6AM this morning. With the wind chill it was -38F. It warmed up all the way to 7F at around 2PM.

I was in Kansas at the end of January, as my brother is shipping off to Afghanistan. The day that I arrived, the high was 70. It was 0 at the airport when I left.

Today was 75F, right now (11PM) it is 43F. 70F in one day would be crazy.

37 at 6:00 am here, but rising steadily. For my small part of SoCal, this is typical.

You know it's cold when the foam in your cars seats don't move when you sit on them. :mrgrn:

If you're inside posting, who's outside keeping the grapes warm. If prices spike I'm retroactively blaming you.

WTF are you doing being awake at 5:55am on Saturday morning? Saturday morning is made to sleep, Greg. And next time it's snowing outside, just make a M. Fingerman's special : post o picture of your hand showing the finger to the meteo outside and go back to sleep. You don't even have snow tires and you don't know how to drive in snowy road conditions. You risk killing yourself.
Go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep.
:brr: Can you turn the heat seaters and the engine on and go back insde for a few minutes?

heat seaters is pretty funny, Lunar. Mine won't turn on unless there is some weight on the seat. Though I did modify the car to support remote start from the key.

You mean snirt (snow + dirt)?

No seat heat. If I wanted to warm up the car, I'd have to get up even earlier.
Would you open the garage door during the remote warmup? Depending on the lacation it makes me nervous that someone could drive by and take something. OTOH, the garage will be asphixiating if the door is closed.

The garage is still full of stuff for the house, so the cars are in the driveway. The engine is running, but the doors are locked and alarm is still set. The main trick is to remember to set the heat/defrost to max the night before so you don't have to go out there at all.

Most remote car starters shut the motor off when you open the door.
Snirt is a good one. Must be an eskimo word with the thousand types of snow. Getting worse now and revealing all the trash/garbage people leave behind.
Dads DTS looks at what the outside temp and does whats appropriate with the heat/cool/seats for the interior when you remote start it. GM has some thoughtful stuff in there. My car is a stick so I will never be able to put in a remote start. But then again I work from home.

You can still put in remote start, but you'll have to bypass the clutch interlock, which isn't so dangerous if you're the only one who drives the car and always leaves it in neutral, but if someone leaves it in gear and you remote start it... Look out! :rofl:

The interlock on my old vw went after the first 110k. I never parked in gear, so no big deal.
How would the car know the frequency and code for the garage door?

car door.

Well, the engine turns off when the car door is opened (nothing to do with the garage door). But my car knows the frequencies for my garage doors and the gates at work; it can open them directly without a separate "clicker".

No, I did not arrive and leave on the same day.
Although it did go from that seventy to freezing rain in less than twenty-four hours.

Why are we spelling California with a K right now?

As in
People's Republic of Kalifornia
Pretty common reference to a state with laws that rival Nazi Germany-The U.S.S.R., and, pretty much total disregard for The US Constitution.
Luckily, some of the judiciary still remember what the law is.
