Re:Cold weather 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
We’ve had as low as -10°F here in MI. The snow on the roads isn’t even slippery at these temps in the mornings. I’m guessing it’s because there’s no moisture in it at these temps. Painful on the lungs (especially trying to get over the flu )

Are you running 20-50 oil? That will make it hard to start. That may be too thick. I use 10-40 Mobil 1 Racing MC synthetic.

We're supposed to see +23 by next weekend.

Re:Cold weather 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago  
Zero and lower in Chicago area,
but I just got back from going up north, where it was cold.

Went sledding in Cadillac, MI. Got late starts in the morning, waited to see at least -8 before firing up and heading out.
Got to love FI for cold weather.

And speaking of cold weather, my next post will be for furnace help.
