Mk3iain Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Morning in Aberdeenshire. We have had a bit of snow, some frost and plenty of rain but it is officially winter when I cant see my front door because of the smoke on start up from my milly. :-( And it is much worst when it gets really cold ! Some feel it will be a harsh winter this year,..bring it on! (running back in to the woodburner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the yard where I work is a Lodekka with a 6LW, can stand for months, then it will start instantly, wonderful old engines...........and it does not smoke!

OErjan Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Yes indeed, it is just now a nice clear day and -10°C here in northern Sweden, in a few weeks it will start getting really cold. R, uhm, they start sticking together at about -18°C or so, not that cold. Edited October 27, 2010 by OErjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Its all relative isnt it really! For those in the UK what they consider "cold" is "warm" to us! Coldest I have experienced so far was minus 42 degrees celsius and I didn't have to go far from here for that. What I like about winter is the sounds, squeeky snow being a favourite R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 I prefer a dry cold as in the artic areas, in the UK its mostly damp and windy and Bl"@=y miserable. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hotel Renault makes the same smokescreen when its cold. Cough cough...:-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 This our Bv206 supporting a local unit exercise in the casevac role. The vehicle stays with the troops exercising on the ground as it is easier to make the one way trip out rather than assume that the troops will have good comms down to the OPS biv site and then deploy out to the grid. Some times it does troop lifts and the occasional recovery when the RSM dumps the Milcots in the ditch. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
