2010 First Snow

The first snow of 2010 after a winter weather advisory. I love snow.

Later in the day, my truck got rear ended because of an ice patch. I hate ice. Nobody was hurt, both vehicles are still drivable enough, but it looks like there is another loaner car in my future! Maybe it will be the Olds 88 again?

@HeyFromEst I hope that the snow you had did not cause any problems and that you are safe and warm. Thanks for commenting!

What needs repairing on the s10?

Diesel should--by every reason I can think of--start harder than gasoline in the cold. That is true of every one I have seen.

Gasoline engines have spark and much more volatile fuel, diesels must compress the fuel to its autoignition point. That's why many of them have glow plugs, to heat the air up so as to assist with this when cold.

Some diesel engines also have fuel heaters.

The snow over here in the United Kingdom is amazing, it's really quiet it's like the Wild West!
