Just wanted introduce myself by sharing a trip with you. Some friends and I made it to Frenchman’s Coulee during a bit of unexpected snow. We got snowed out of another area (we had trailers and non snow friendly vehicles) so we went further east up into high desert. We thought is was going to rain. Whoops.

Meet Radar, my 4WD snow shep.

Silly yellow ZR2 is mine. With sillier camper.

Neat old tires, car parts and sometimes whole cars thrown down into the canyon. Orlove, don’t look!

I plan to return soon, end of month perhaps. Maybe I will write a little about that if I see anything interesting.

I would say lower twenties. Just enough to Frigidaire my giblets.

-20 is not that bad, it’s cold indeed.. but not that bad. Few years ago I delivered fish at a shop here in Norway.. -42 Celsius (-43 F).. That was bloody cold.. the transmission actually froze on me delivery van..

Norway has no heat, only the absence of all temperature. I am surprised light can even escape the place.

:P You jest mate.. you jest.. The funny thing is, in the summer we have temps at +26 celsius (79 F) but when winter comes around we’ve got -26 (-15 F). 50 degrees celsius difference is quit common here. I know you’ve got the same thing in Canada and northern parts of the US though..
