[emoji2] Our parking lot @ here work looks out over Saint John Harbour. You know it's a cold day when all you can see are the tops of the container terminal cranes poking out of the sea smoke. Doesn't happen all that often though... usually only a few times per winter.

The pick up truck I had at the time started and ran OK, but I couldn't shift gears for a mile or two, while the grease loosened up! The heater did a fair job, got the cab up to 45 or so....warm by comparison to outdoors! Not unusual around to here to flirt with Zero, come January. Doesn't usually last long though.
[emoji2] Yup. It's the damn wind that's the problem. :sad:
