I do remember those stretches of cold, had to take the battery out of the old Tempest and take it in the house so I could get it started to go to work. The accelerator pump was bad in the carberater, I carried a bottle of gas to dump down the throat of the carberater, when it shot flames I knew it would start on the next try,
Wasn't that the year it snowed early and we still had the same snow on the ground at the end of February? Just black instead of the white that it came down as.
