We agree then. Nowhere did I recommend that.
I also see no reason to run a 20 grade oil over 30 or 40 grade in cold weather. Would only consider it if you're below 30 F though.
extreme cold pending for DFW...

Until it's not!
I put my VC8 winter tires back on the Pilot today. We don't drive much while at home, so they'll stay on until my wife gets back from her planned March trip to Wisconsin.
where i live, the weather channels were all saying it was going to be end of the world this weekend. reality? it's going to be -18 Celcius and -22 Celcius. which mean not very cold in my area. very average. i hear people talking everywhere, they are freaking out and talking about how much it is going to be cold. yet none took the time to check what is really going to happen. the reality is that the closer we are to the weekend, the warmer it gets. i wished weather channels did their jobs instead of trying to scare people all the time.
in our area, when the forecast is a low of 29F, the local weather-guessers start their segment with "Bring in your cats and dogs and plants! It's going to be a C-C-COLD one tonight.

My wife went grocery shopping this morning and my son called me a bit ago after doing the same. Both said the shelves were barren like at the beginning of Covid. What items remained, people were climbing all over each other to get to them. Ugh!
Wisconsin can range from -40f in winter to 100f in summer with humidity, we are used extreme conditions.
It will be a profitable weekend for the recovery truck drivers.
People who haven’t lived in the upper midwest seem not to understand that yes, the winters are indeed quite cold and long. But the summers are ALSO hot and quite humid. it’s not a shift of weather, just an expansion to pull in more extremes, especially on the cold end.
In between, you get one glorious month of good weather on either end.
Gonna be so cold in TX you could fly to Cancun

I want to live in a place where the lowest temperature is 70 degrees and the highest temperature is 80 degrees
If that’s not possible I would also accept a place where the range is between 60 and 90

Sounds like Hawaii.
He went to California this time.
Has Texas learned from its last cold spell when many power plants went offline?
You’ve heard of the Waffle House Index?
Well, we got the Ted Cruz Index in Texas and he’s been spotted on a flight to Laguna Beach yesterday… which means power outages.
San Diego California…well if weather is your only criteriaI want to live in a place where the lowest temperature is 70 degrees and the highest temperature is 80 degrees
4x4s? In Texas there are MANY 2 wheel drive pickups with sketchy rear tires. In ice, snow, even hard rain they put on quite a show.
