Rhiannon12866
(205,526 posts)I tried again today and the same damn thing happened, had to stop at the light and the number of cars ahead of me meant that I was only part way up the hill. My friend suggested that I need new tires, but I'm pretty diligent about keeping up with anything my car needs. I still go to the dealership, though I bought my car in 2004, and nothing like that's ever happened to me before. I just think they're not good about plowing in this burg, and it's been so cold that nothing's melting. I hate winter.

A period of very cold wind chills is expected. The coldest air of the season has settled across Southern Ontario for the weekend ...
Good news! It's supposed to warm back up starting Monday, 0C(32F) and above!
We've actually been very lucky this winter, hardly any snow, a couple mediocre storms and quick melts.

(16,199 posts)It might get close again tonight. What made last night unique was the wind - I've had lows below zero before, but only on calm nights where there was strong radiational cooling. Winds normally stir up the air and keep it from cooling as much at the ground level because the warmer air can't rise and leave the coldest air at the ground.
That wind just penetrated any crack and created drafts all throughout my old house. It also had the furnace busting ass to keep up.
