Ahhh my sister was telling me this morning (she lives in London) that parts of the UK have been colder than Moscow, and that this is the coldest winter the UK has had in 30 years. I hope you and your family are staying warm and safe! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by kiamat from Thursday, January 07, 2010 4:47:58 PM)

The last few days/weeks leading up to a big gig are always the most exciting, I hope the anticipation never exceeds the result- though it's AC/DC so I bet you'll have a great time Becks.
Our cat is quite vocally disgusted about the weather- I can't blame her, especially after a weather station 10 minutes down the road apparently recorded -18C (?!) last night making us slightly colder than Moscow. Currently I am watching the frost form on the inside of the window pane. Hope others out there are enjoying better weather!

Those kitty booties look hilarious! The cat doesn't look too impressed though. I got an email photo of an extremely angry and wet looking cat, and the caption says something like "This cat is gonna f*ck somebody up". I believed it!

Happy metal new year to you all! It's nice to see people are sounding generally happy. That's cool! As for those complaining about the weather, I would really like to feel bad for you, but here at home in the Great White North, it has warmed up to 3.2'F. Warmed up. That's right. It was frightfully frigid between Christmas and New Year, around the -18'F range, without the windchill. BRRRRRRRRR!!! I feel cold just talking about it, and I'm sitting here in long underwear. And I doubt I would survive without my block heater and interior car warmer. It cuts the chill in the van a bit, and keeps my Priest CDs working.
[Deep Freeze] Monday, January 04, 2010 7:50:29 AM
Good Morning, all! So, it would appear that we all made it through yet another year! Great to see you all here on the "other side". So, once again we find ourselves attempting to "get back in the swing", as it were. I read Ron's comments with great amusement. Ron, my friend, I do "get" what you are saying. I recall with fondness those days! I know it would seem odd but I do remember returning to the "grind" and getting back to work. How I miss it.
I have a good feeling about this year. I cannot say why exactly. Just a feeling. It's going to be hard to top the amazing year I had in '09 but I suppose we'll see. More good times and great music ahead! Let's get this party started.
[Head banger] Monday, January 04, 2010 7:24:08 AM
the headlight thing sounds bogus to me. something to gently warm the battery would help but.... unless you buy an electric wrap for it and remember/find locations to plug it in.... dunno. my last car I bought used, replaced the battery after 4 years. maybe I was just lucky. 11 miles should be enough to recharge it fully, I would think.

Drive about 11 miles to work each day. I was surprised the battery did make it through the night and it's going to get even colder tonight. But so far it's just slow. Is it true if you turn your headlights on for 30 seconds before cold cranking a car it will activate the battery and give you a better start on extremely cold days? I'm really shocked by this battery as most cars I've owned I've had to replace the battery in 2 1/2 o to 3 years. Go Honda!!! lol

if its only in the teens your battery should have given you more than three years. do you do mostly short trips (less than 10 miles)?

Daily report from my part of the world! You might know it,....... it's called Damn Coldia!!! Nice bits of snow comming down temp is dropping into the teens maybe singles tonight, and I noticed my battery protested when starting earlier today. Sad news for my battery and likely my purse! (Well,..... if I carried one ot those damn contraptions!)
I can fast see tomorrow with the whine and click of a battery that has been defeated by the cold. I'll keep my fingers crossed it does not happen, but who am I kidding. Almost 3 years on a factory battery!!! HB!!! You know it's going to die!!! lol Sleep well everyone, and think murderous thougthts fo Guid on his Sunny island!!!

Morning fellow Metalheads
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I am glad it's Monday and am even happier to be going back to work after 11 days off!!! No, I'm not ill (lol), just ready to get back into the groove of things and am looking forward to happier times ahead!! Have a great week everyone!!
