Okay, I will... I work nights, midnight till roughly 8:00AM. Coldest part of the night, right? Well, this morning the temperature dropped to -38C with a windchill of -50C. I don't think I need to do any conversions for you guys to know that this is cold. All the emergency exit alarms were going off because they were frozen, the inside staircase (right on the outside wall) had ice all along the railing... My poor 2010 Toyota Corolla had to sit out there in the wide open, not plugged in or anything! She barely started this morning, and lucky me, I'm the only Canadian without a remote starter, I had to sit in my car for about 20 minutes so it could warm up enough to drive. 20 freaking minutes in -50. The little 4 cyl. engine sounded like a damn diesel in like a Ford Super duty. lol
Even on a brand new car, some things just don't work when it's this cold. Here is my list because I'm bored... heh
-wipers frozen down
-brake pedal frozen up (took some force to press down lol)
-doors wont close
-LCD instrument panel had no display
-tire pressure monitor system continually says flat tire
-ABS and stability control had longer delay
-telescoping steering wheel frozen in up position
-all climate control and other various dials frozen in their positions
In other words, it's so damn cold, nothing works. Oh and lol, my favorite part... I drove home doing no more than 20km/h, because my tires froze with slightly flattened bottoms making it feel like I'm driving on square wooden wheels.
WELCOME TO CANADA! :D
