BURRRRRRRR that is way to cold for this old boy . Coldest we have ever had around here was in 78 during the blizzard was -35 , that is still clear in my head . My one friend Called me Sunday Morning after the snow had past on by and needed my help as the refer he was pulling had jelled up and he was setting on 46000 lbs of Banana's that were about to freeze . Most roads around here were still shut down and to get to him we had to do the county's and town ships work of busten drifts . My Ford started just fine but the snow plow required some external heating . The High out put heater in that truck was great . When i got to my buddy's we had to dig our way into the truck and we had his Chevy my Ford and the old trusty 706 gasser all hooked to the batterys on the refer a small generator running a 150000 btu space heater with tarps wrapped around the lower part of the trailer from the fuel tank on it and up around the refer unit plus the torch set with the rose bud heating the fuel tank . took us 6 hours to get that darn thing started and running and getting heat back in the load . The load had got down to 34 degrees by the time we got it running . Next COLD i was in was -38 when i hauled a Cell phone shack up into Minnesota in the middle of January . About froze in the bunk as the cold came up thru the bottom of the bunk thru the mattress even with the cab heat on and the bunk heat on . At this moment here in the buckeye we are setting at 54 degrees BELOW my comfort zone and with each passing year that comfort zone keeps getting higher.
