Your about to see some cold temps.. some go the guys up in Canada are nuts, not sure how they can deal with it being that cold outside.

 

-30 is the lowest reading it will give me... in celcius.

EDIT: That's -22 F


(originally thought it was -35C... but found an old picture)

 

Yep according to the manual the operating range is -30C to +50C only (-22F to +122F)

 

That = -31 f ... so that's freakin cold!!!! It was really COLDER than -35? Pic?

Last winter it got below -35 a couple times.... damn rough on vehicles and pretty much everything and everybody.
:cheers:

 

Ouch

 

Just a few weeks ago it hit -10 here and I found the weakness of my 6 year old stock battery. Nothing quite like jumping the truck in the whipping wind. They say it's going into deep freeze here tomorrow. Yay!

 

For numerous reasons I went with the blue top Optima... 900 cca. I then added another one to the rear cargo area for my ARB freezer and tied it all in to the same system.... so I basically have 1800 cca at my disposal :lol:
I still plug in though, too hard on the vehicle to start it at those temps without being plugged in.

 

Sorry not in my FJ but my old TLC
-50C (-58F) Eagle Plains, Yukon, on my road trip across NA. Was -62C a little further on.

 

Now THAT'S ouch!! :lol:

 

Definitely grateful of the Webasto Thermotop heater and heated fuel line! Thankfully the coldest I slept in the vehicle was -30C

 

Did the FJ Cruiser at -30C or the Land Cruiser at -50C maintain any kind of engine heat at those temperatures?

 

My TLC maintained engine temp just fine. I did have the grille covered but don't know if it made too much difference. I had a Webasto fitted which plumbs into the coolant line and will keep the engine warm and heat the cabin without the engine on but didn't keep it running all night, just to preheat before I departed for an hour or so.

Oh and forgot to say it is a diesel engine (KZ-T)

Here's the LC on the MacKenzie River Ice Road, it was a mere -40C here!

 

ohhh now the challenge is to get outside that range lol. I've been outside that upper range, but I doubted it's accuracy at the time and once we started moving the needle came down a little.

 

It's supposed to be -35 tonight.... -45 with the windchill.

Sigh, I can't wait until spring and summer...

 

I'd move! Without a doubt, I'd be on my way. It's 65 f (18.3 c) out here right now.

And miss out on mosquito season??? :surprise

 

That's what vacations are for

 

I know all you people back east are getting a deep freeze but if you can believe it in SoCal last week we had 3 days that were in the mid 80`s thought I was going to get sun burned. Years ago I lived in Bay City Michigan and we had a -60 day that was cold cold

 

Up in Alberta, never taken any real cold ones... Here is one in F.

DATELINE: This morning.

I know this isn't much for Canadian standards, but here below the Mason-Dixon (Nashville), it gets our long johns in a bunch.

I met a Colorado transplant who lives in San Diego. He said when people point out that SD has no seasons, he tells them he can go visit a season, then get back home before the snow shovels are distributed.

Smart man.

 

I just spent an hour reading about all about the Mason-Dixon line. :nerd

 

Had a reading last winter of -28 in Minnesota. Wind Chills were under -35. Fairly typical for early February.

Very hard on vehicles. The FJ whined on startup for a good 2-3 minutes, and creaked and groaned for about ten minutes as everything else warmed up while driving.

 

It was 1 degree this morning when I left the house and that's about 80 degrees less than where I would like to be. So glad to be moving to Charleston, SC. in about a year. Can't come to soon!

 

Before I went on my Trip to Alaska a friend said to me "-30C in the sunshine with no wind chill is the best".... he was absolutely right in my view, I'm afraid you can keep your 80F +, I'd rather have the cold

 

When there's no wind it can be very beautiful at -30 with the bright sunshine rangehat:

It's one of the things that attract me to winter wheeling. Beautiful pristine winter wonderland.

:cheers:

 

I know you said lowest but I don't see too low of temps out here in AZ.

This was after driving for about 30 mins last summer.

 

-15 in Williamsburg Ohio (east of Cincinnati)

 

Buzz, we were only -10 @ my house, must be all that heat in the blacktop around the city thats keeping us so warm!

 

Well this all makes my -6F this morning seem like a heat wave. I have nothing to complain about..

 

Bruzer,

I'm out by east fork lake area on the rt32 side, kinda takes your breath away when the wind starts

 

I've never in my life been in minus degree (Fahrenheit) temperature. I've been in walk-in freezers ... but I don't believe they were near minus degrees. Maybe 20 degrees is the coldest I've ever experienced. I'm a west coast native. It was a balmy 60 degrees this morning while I drank my coffee at the beach.

I'd be trying all those ice tricks that make instant snow or I'd be out romping my 4x4 across the ice. I'd love to visit the cold.
