Block Heaters

Was not interested in the block heater, I was just curious as to what the temps were in Canada at this present time. that's all.

-37 degrees Celcius when I woke up this morning. Was -51 here with the wind the other day. Now its a balmy -30. I'm up working north of edmonton at the moment.

honestly could not even imagine what that feels like. it was 30*F last night while I was working and I was freezing (mostly just my hands and feet). doesn't really get much colder than that in Houston, TX. lowest it has been since I have been alive in Houston is prob about 20*F but it is not for any longer than 1-2 days.

Your nose hairs freeze together when you take a breath through your nose. The air literally hurts bare skin. That's the best way I can describe it haha. It's all about layering clothing.

Not too bad this morning. Definately colder than what this area is used to. Must say I love my wood/coal stove. Couple handfuls of coal kept the house cosy last night.

My truck is in the garage but here in Milwaukee we are looking at -40° windchill tonight and already got snow. Why do I live here?........?

Thanks for all the posts about temperature. So I'm guessing if there's a little button on the plug cord, it's a thermostat? Which means the heater won't come on unless it is −18°C (0°F) or above.

Could be useful this week.
