Broken stem
I am sure other people have discovered this, however, to my chagrin, I recently discovered that vulcaite stems become rather brittle at -25c.

Went to fill my truck the other day, and discovered that gas caps display the same weakness.

Shit doesn't work good at -25, and it even more doesn't work good at -35. Even my dog has been foregoing our morning wrestle out in the yard - he poops and runs back in, even if I put his boots on.

Re: Broken stem
Some of us aren't so stupid as to live in a country where you have to worry about -35.
Double figures here today (Centigrade). We had a chilly week last week, it was -1 overnight.

Yeah-fuck the cold. Two heaters and I still can't stand being in my shop for more than 10 minutes.

Re: Broken stem
I don't mind the cold so much, at least not when it's consistent. The problem here is yesterday we had a high of -20, tomorrow we have a high of 5, and right now they're claiming as high as 10 for the weekend, but I know better than to trust any forecast more than 48 hours out.
