Cold weather (was Re: [AT] AC-170 Diesel starts in the cold

[Mike Sloane]

I am surprised, Carl. It was -2F down south of you in NJ yesterday 
morning. Usually you guy are at least 10 degrees colder than us. Today 
is a nice balmy +2F, but, later today, we are expecting snow mixed with 
freezing rain turning to ice by Friday morning. I have a feeling that 
the Ford 860 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/other_machinery/fordcab2.html> with 
chains will be getting the duty of clearing that mess on my two miles of 
private lane - the truck, even with six wheels turning will be not be a 
  match for a coating of ice on top of last week's packed snow. :-(

This more like late January than mid December around here!

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of 
those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have 
too little. -Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (1882-1945)
