WOW I forgot about that 

[Model Citizen]

I can relate 
When I started at a Gas station I use to clean the Windshield and check the oil also.
Funny how things change

I guess I should add that when we do go out we dress appropriately.

  I learned that working in a gas station. Panty hose, thermals (top & bottom) 2 pair of socks, 2 sweaters, 2 pair work issued pants, 1/2 " felt lined boots, my heavy Sohio winter jacket, 2 pair gloves. I was ready! 'Cept people thought I was a chubby little fat guy.
Kinda funny now how EVERYBODY pumps their own gas these days. Just not all day long.

I bet you remember this cold when you was back East . How long you been out there ? I Bet it is Nice to not have the Drastic changes Other than the Major Heat you get .

remember its a dry heat. I can stand about 108 and thats it. GOLIATH can handle about 101 and he starts to ping.

A dry heat?  So is my oven and I don't get in it.  Our winters are like your summers - we don't go outside unless we have to.

Maybe we should move this to the Snow thread ? I am Not sure how to ?

Oh I go out in it 
I just got in from the Goat Shed after taking the cable out and Thawing it then Flushing it real good with lube and the Anti Freeze .
Put it back in and rerouted it so it is Not all laying on the floor. He has a Max 4 cable in it and it is WAY long !
All good to go and going out for a ride in the snow. May get the Cat out tonight also ?

It is Interesting to see how Different the weather plays with the same machine ?
Today I would be Lucky to get My chain Lube out of the can 
My Shop is Heated and roomy BUT 8 miles from the House 
So the Old Goat shed will have to do

AND the chain lube ends up like the butter they pump on at the movie theaters in the bottom of the tub.

The info I found is as follows:  HDPE:

Minimum operating temperature for short periods: -65C/-85F
Minimum operating temperature continuous: -50C/-58F
Maximum operating temperature for short periods: 100C/212F
Maximum operating temperature continuous: 80C/176F

Thanks for researching this . Minimum or maximum, it's good stuff to know.

At -33C/-27F you should be ok but I would be careful because you don't know how fatigued/cracked/gouged/cut/scored/condition the machine is in or how that might be affected by the cold temps.

Thanks for the info. Looks like it should be fine.
