My new (to me) Blazer doesn't seem to like cold weather any better than you folks do. It doesn't want to start when it gets below about -10C. So it's going into the Chevrolet dealership to get looked at tomorrow morning.

We've got about 4-6 inches of snow on the ground with another 6+ coming in the next couple days. I go out to clear the driveway and my snowblower won't start!! It'll fire with ether thrown in the carb, but it won't keep running. It's getting petrol to the carb, because the float bowl drain dribbles cold evaporating fluid out, so that means the jet is clogged. Which means a full disassembly of the intake section in weather not conducive to working without gloves. And the parts are too small to manage with gloves on.

So it looks like I have to "clear" my 200 feet of driveway by running back and forth with the 6mpg truck so that Tina can get her little Neon out for work.

And then have to redo it all in a day or two again.

I'm not a happy camper right now......
