hows everyone dealing with the cold?
 

tonight its not bad where I am. a low of 22*. what i'm kinda worried about is Tuesday. when I come across PA the high temp is supposed to be 3* and a low of 2*. got a bottle of halves today for Tuesday. only thing i'm debating is to idle Tuesday night or let the tripac do its thing.

how are you guys doing?

I'm stuck at the Petro in Effingham IL, but sure beats being one of the many many jack-knifed trucks parked off road. The last 42 miles heading north on I57 took 8 hours Sunday night. My reefer turned off just before getting here, but some Howes in the tank and it stayed running.

Without fuel antigel, I would have left the big engine running. I put the Howes in and my Comfort Pro is doing okay.

Not sure what truck you have but a night and day difference was closing the bunk. My Columbia don't hold the heat at all. Closed the bunk flap and I woke up to turn the heat down.

On my way out tomorrow I'll be putting a half a bottle of halves in each tank and heading to ohio.

In Michigan, wind is causing a lot of near white outs. Snow so cold, it easily blows around, and most vehicles brake/tail lights are covered in thick powder, you can no longer see them.
It's -4F but with wind chill, feels like -30F………… unless of course, if you figure in global warming, then it only feels like -25F :)

Maybe the herds in Chicago will be thinned?…:roll3: but the animals up here are okay.

I moved to Arkansas out of IL last year and I can tell you this down south they have NO COLD tolerance. It got to 9 degrees and to hear then see the female weather guesser on the TV you would have thought she was heading for the North freaking Pole. Meantime I am walking around in my shorts outside going this is not cold I am from IL.
