Grand Forks circa Jan 1996 I can recall an ambient of -42F, and having to take the battery out of my truck, put it up in my dorm room for a few hrs to warm up and then my truck would start. That same winter I had the ignition module go bad on the same truck and in some brutal cold temps had to pull the distributer, take that up into the dorm room, let it warm up so I could touch it without freeze-branding my fingers.

ha ha ha - working on cold vehicles in HS / college back in the 70s and 80s built character

I also might suffer from arthritis in my old age too due to it

so far so good though

I don't know about any character building, but it motivated me to do well enough to #1 have a reliable vehicle and #2 have enough of an emergency fund set aside that someone else can work on the MF'r in the cold.

My first semester of college was auto tech. Suddenly it sunk in that I’d be huffing fumes and freezing my ass off for the rest of my life if I made it a career. Changed majors the next semester and stuck it out for a (worthless) bachelors degree.

GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol I hated the weather up in that hell hole!! Made Bismarck look like the banana belt from GF.

Brrrr. I remember when GF tied it’s record low of 43 below in about 2004 when I was up there. Of course I had an 8 am class that day that I couldn’t skip.
