Evenin'All: We had the coldest morning in several years this morning. It was -27 below zero when I got up at 5 AM. We've had several mornings with temps from -10 to -20 the past 10 or 12 days, but nothing like this morning. We went out around noon time, after the sun had been on the cars for about 3 hours and it was up to a sweltering 1 degree. DW's "Beetle" started right up, but no go on the Jeep. We had to jump it. First time that Jeep has ever failed to start. The battery IS about 3 or 4 years old, so likely a new one is a good idea. Of course, like everything else, car battery prices have gone through the roof. New one is going to be around $200.00! But, I think I will go into Rumford on Monday & have one put in. Not going to be anywhere near as cold tonight, but I'll run it for a bit before turning in & again first thing in the morning.
