-30 here on Fri. night
So darn cold that I can't start the old Briggs motors(snowblowers) without a bit of warming up, first. I have a 1976 Sears walk behind blower and a 1997 cub cadet self mower/blower(2 cylinder) and I need to put a halogen light against the block with a blanket to get them warm enough to fire. Tried priming and all I got was a backfire. 15 minutes with some heat and they fire up. -15 is just too cold for them to want to go.
