    Is that due to Global Warming or Climate Change?

    Climate change is slow over centuries..this is global warming. The change over the past 10 years is very obvious and fast . We used to get over a foot of snow every week,,sometimes a few times a week. Now less than weekly. We used to get -30C stretches for weeks., no more. For northerners -10C during December to February is a heatwave.

    Haha. 401 isn't that bad unless I've become used to it. Do trucks even start at -60C?

    That sounds terrible. I've never felt anything less than -30°C. My bunk heater doesn't even keep the truck warm after -25°C.

    Not sure how you guys survive out there.

    When it’s this cold I close off the rear curtain to make my sleeping space smaller and use my electric heater. It stays plenty warm. If I opened up the curtain divider though, I’ll freeze. Lol

    I'll pony up a little more carbon tax for some more global warming? FB_IMG_1573426421168.jpg
