A cold start

My Swedish Hagen Wagon thermometer read minus 12 degrees Fahrenheit ( -24 Celsius) when I pulled up to my HFN office on Friday morning!

That's a nice was to visualize that murderous temperature. And how warm was it inside the car?
Does your Hagen Wagon have those fancy heated seats?

WO Hoa! thats cold. Its doing 28 C here in Goa and I wish it was cooler. Its always the opposite.. when its cold you want it warm and when its warm you wish it was cooler.

That is crazy weather Leif! Brrr!

We have a more normal Roskilde-winter now. May be The Northatlantic Oscillation has changed back again - leaving us with a so called green winter.
...the new Hagen Wagon is made to start in all temperatures, I guess.

My car thermometer is always optimistic, it shows few degrees warmer then in reality. And I like it.

I miss winter much. Over here more than trice the temperature of a frige; feels even as if spring is near. Always a safe road ahead and a good Sunday as well.

It might have been cold, but Garrison Keillor assures me that you Minnesotans are hardy stock.

Re The Hartford, I put two photos on my blog last July, within the first two weeks after I started up. I have looked at it several times since, but didn't see something I wanted to shoot. I should try again, maybe in the spring when the landscaping is emerging. Here is a link: http://hartforddailyphoto.blogspot.com/2010/07/hartford.html

OMG! I have no idea what that might be... We were having 16ºC in the afternoons but a cold strong wind is blowing for two days now and the temperatures have drastically fall to 3ºC in the morning which is very cold for us.

We complain here of temperatures down to 0 centigrade, 32 F. Saw some people in T shirts today. Scandinavian tourists enjoying the 'warm' weather, maybe.
