    3C/37F? Nope. The ground will be too warm.

    Right now, it's 29F (-1.7C) right here in AZ at 7:30 am. No ice because it's too dry even though it rained for much of yesterday. Beautiful though. All blue skies and not a puff of cloud. It's cold enough though to trip some car alarms. I hear one right now.

    Clear skies tend to bring cooler temps because the land heat would radiate out into space and the atmosphere overnight. Low clouds would act like insulation and keep heat in.

    Nice car red_wagen.... Haven't experienced that kind of weather though.

    The coldest one I got to 'savor' is something similar to what JAP has described earlier.... Although, I needed to scrape the snow on the windshield in the morning....

    Nice ride srbogoy! Whew!

    Come summertime here when temps are 120F, I'll be wishing I was there. You could make a lot of snocones over there.

    how does the car's finish look after freezing like that? do markings or "maps" remain even after the ice has melted away?

    it takes a while before the ice melts and after it melts..you have to consider the fact that youll be driving in a cold weather and tons of snow/ice melting on the street so the roads will stay wet for days.
    ice,snow and salt will be on your cara and it wont look nice at all but a good car wash will get all of that off.
    better if you winterize your car first before the snow hits so itll be faster and better for the paint as the salt and grime will wash off faster and better.
    on an average winter..i normally run my SUV to the carwash 3times a week.i just dont like the salt drying on my paintjob.

    Thanks. Nag melt na yung snow for the most part and it's actually "warm" here right now the last few days (~8*C) It's a heck of a lot colder for the people in upstate NY, Chicago, Mid West area and of course, north of the border. Marami pala tayong kababayan sa Winnepeg. Talk about cold

    Believe me kung mayroon lang public transport dito I would take it. But I'd still get a bimmer :naughty2:

    Been in Beijing last week and the coldest is -10 degrees centigrade I'm now in Guangzhou wherein temperature is like in Baguio city. But I've been in Mongolia last winter season with a -30 degrees centigrade... it's really freezing cold out there.

    share ko lang kwento ng bro ko sa Canada ... last week lang

    I am here at Winnipeg, Manitoba from Feb 8 – 12 for a new Denny’s (Canada) resto opening, and I’m in charge of the IT stuff + video surveillance system… as usual I’m billeted here at the Sandman Hotel property (half-finished); Northland Properties own Sandman hotels, Denny’s Canada, Moxies, Shark Clubs, etc.

    Hanep ang lamig dito… -30°C and if you factor in windchill, -50°C… Sabi nung mga taga-rito sa akin ay, “that’s Manitoba winter for you”….. (can’t blame why a lot of Pinoy immigrants coming here end up going somewhere warmer)

    According sa weather advisory nga eh 5 minutes ka lang sa labas, frostbite ka na…

    Pero naglakad naman kami nung boss ko papunta sa resto, mga 5-minute walk naman ay mukhang ayus naman…

    Nag-yeyelo lang naman iyong sipon ko sa ilong (no kidding), hahahaha….

    But all you need is thick/warm clothing, head/face protection, and I think you’ll be okay. Itong boss ko taga Calgary kaya medyo sanay at ear muffs lang ang protection sa ulo… ako, (na taga-tropical Vancouver !) hood, tuk, at naglagay pa ako panyo sa mukha… after a while nga nung lakad namin, iyong exhalation ko nag-freeze sa salamin ko at frosted ang salamin ko, hahaha,… enjoy, uminom naman kami kaya pabalik ay mainit ang katawan ko kaya ayos lang…

    Generally, if you stay indoors, then you don’t feel the cold,,, kaya maraming na-bo-bore dito at umaalis papuntang ibang province (BC,hehehe), kasi nasa loob ka lang… that’s why people here have lots of money and own multiple houses kasi mura at you don’t get to spend your money frequently (you’d rather stay home where it’s warm),
