If a battery won't work due to cold is it possible to jump start it?

Yep, jump it with a running vehicle

AAA

So I guess the state police were getting a ton of calls about pets outside. Sounds like they got mad because the news told people to call them and report it.

We'll you'd be screwed either way unless there's another vehicle parked within 10 feet of your battery. That's why I bought a jump pack.

I'm parked right next to my mother on laws new car which started fine. If it starts in the morning that is what ill use. Or maybe ill just take her car. She isn't going anywhere tomorrow but I hate having her at hone with my son and no working vehicle.

You have a suburban, right? It's going to be tough to use a 4 cyl to crank over a cold 8 cyl.

I'd jump it now to at least defrost it a bit.

[MelicharSux]

work is canceled tomorrow. boom.

Water main break in downtown C-bus. It's -8 with a wind chill of -39.

Ice skating downtown tomorrow

Be back at square one in the morning. Best thing to do would be throw a heating pad around the battery, then look into replacing it or at least getting the CCA tested (Cold cranking amps).

Or just listen to mac. :)

If i had a nickle for every youtube of the boiling water trick on facebook right now...

[blackjack68]

I think I'm going to put on a pair of shorts and flip flops and go play in the yard. Come at me frostbite.

Or pull the battery and bring it inside overnight.

Oh, and it's -12 with a -35 wind chill here. Looking for a tauntaun to crawl into.

Do these dummies on Facebook know it's not turning to steam, only spreading out and turning into small ice crystals? Does no one know of latent heat anymore?

Son of a...

And now there is no chance I'm leaving my warm bed.

It (feels) like -32. Here it is like North Pole

[shoeshine boy]

My Windshield was cracked today (for the third time lol) by a Penn dot plow truck. I don't suppose I can ask that they replace it, can I?

likely not. maybe from now on you should just let them get waaaaaaaay in front of you.

I was mad because he was going 35 MPH down the interstate and everyone refused to pass him. So yay what do we do we ride in his spray of gravel and rock salt.

I get that but next time let somebody else be that close to the truck. you said it's happened 3 times. might be time to back off and let somebody else's windshield get chipped.

The furnace is out at my office. It's 49 degrees in here. I was just told, "we aren't going anywhere, get back to work." Awesome
