I’m staying home today due to the fact that my car won’t start. To tell you the truth, I don’t know what to do with myself lol. I put the charger on my battery, and now I’m just bored as heck! 14 below zero is no fun for anyone… Oh Wisconsin, why do you have to be so cold?
In my day we would walk to work.
Uphill. Both ways. Through 4 feet of snow.
Barefoot.
Haha! Nope, just nope.
I just got back from Ice fishing in Northern MN, I brought the cold back with me. It’s not so bad, plus it being Wisconsin it will be 30+ in a few days anyway
My family (dad’s side) is from Rhinelander north to the UP, then on both sides of the UP, up to Duluth. They love it. Me, I like to visit, but after a few days of the cold and snow always ready to get back to NC. They are all big outdoors folks. I am too, but my tolerance for the cold has gotten worse as I have gotten older and with cancer. Now my wife is like, “you want to take a walk?” I say, “not if it’s under 50 I don’t.”
You need an electric car it would work great.(sarc)
Bahahahahaha!!! That was a good one!
Working up in Wyoming I would take my battery into the hotel room at night and plug in my gas truck. Battery heaters are also a thing. Hopefully yours didn’t freeze, if so it’s done. Freeze point all depends on the state of charge.
I remember in the 90s I used to have this guy I worked for, who’d do anything to make a buck. He used to drive around on the coldest days with big sheets of cardboard, and his big torpedo heater…and charge people $10 to thaw out their vehicles, lol. That guy was the biggest shister I’ve ever met.
My uncle was a park ranger in northern Wisconsin, his park truck had a Cummins diesel, he had it plugged into a cord that ran through the wall into his kitchen to keep the glow plugs warm so it would start.
Try a dating app or something. Don’t get your truck, shanty, and stool seized in a bust.

Yeah dude…
WITH hoodrats freaking shooting at us while we were trying to get there… 
Same here with my family. My Father’s side is from Calumet, I was born there also, and my Mother’s side is from Sault Ste Marie. Just a bit chilly up there right now!! With the wind chill it’s -5 in Calumet.
It was -27 this morning on my way to work in northern utah. I ain’t built for this.
Wow! How’d you get to work? Team of sled dogs?
Suffering through a foot of snow with four foot drifts, double digit below zero overnight temps, and down with bronchitis here in SE Idaho
Ram diesel (plugged in of course) started and took me to urgent care yesterday so I guess it isn’t all bad
Gotta embrace the suck!
Yeah, I hear ya buddy. I hate the cold. We hit 68 last weekend in south Florida. Was so cold my nipples cut through my shirt!
It’s hit -30 a few times this year.
My 2007 Toyota Tundra cold soaked in it for 3 days before I got back to my home terminal. Started up on the first try. Battery is well over 10 years old, an old Diehard Platinum absorbed glass mat battery made by Odyssey Batteries. I bought the largest battery I could get clamped on the battery tray, and gained over 200+ cold cranking amps over the stock battery.
If you live in a cold climate just ditch your cheap OEM wet cell battery and buy the biggest AGM you can cram under the hood, or into the trunk where your battery lives. Your life will be easier.
