If you can plug in where you park, get yourself a coolant heater.
Volkswagen Diesel Engine Coolant Heater Kit is custom fit for Golfs, Jettas, Beetles, Rabbits, and Passats with the diesel engine. The 1000 WATT tank heater circulates coolant throughout the engine for QUICKER STARTS AND INSTANT HEAT! (TDI owners know how long it takes to get heat!)

The high here (Chicago) tomorrow is -11. THE HOTTEST IT WILL BE TOMORROW IS NEGATIVE ELEVEN! Windchill is expected to dip down in the -50 range. I just walked home (about 5 minutes) on a windy 8 degree night. My teeth chattered I was so cold. I cannot for the life of me imagine what 20 degrees colder feels like.

This is clearly the coldest air mass on the planet. So weird that it's making it this far south. Pittsburgh normally doesn't see this...

Not that they're all that believable...but out here on the eastern side of the state, they're calling for a high of 50 tomorrow (likely in the early morning) and a low of 8. Followed by a high of 14 and wind on Tuesday.

That's cold and all, but it's annoying that it won't stay this cold long enough for the ponds to freeze over well enough...40's and 50's by the end of the week...

That Chicago weather sounds brutal, Hammer...I don't think I've ever been in temperatures that cold before...

No class tomorrow. I'm actually surprised, since the last time we had something like this (which was also complete with ice everywhere), we still had to go to class, and I still had to take the chemistry midterm I wasn't prepared for.

Actually, I am dreading going into the office this week... it is cold in there when it's in the 40s, I can't even fathom how cold it's going to be this week.

They literally used the term "Flash freeze" on the news this evening. Never heard that before.

Also, i don't understand the schools doing a 2 hour delay. You know it's just gonna be even colder when the kids go in right? Like... the temp is dropping all day long.

Don't forget that it will also hit 50 degrees later in the week.

From tonight at 7pm until Tuesday at noon, expect wind chills of 20 below or worse. It will be the worst between 1am and 8am, where the wind chill is expected to be -27.
