Polar Vortex

[upallnight]

With the Polar Vortex releasing its frigid grip on us I decided to start the X. Lucky I decided earlier not to lock the x because the driver side door handle was frozen. Went in through the rear and I was able to release and push the driver side door open. Release the hood and connected my maintainer/charger to the jump post. The maintainer reported back that the battery was at 22% the lowest that I have ever seen. After about a hour the maintainer indicated that the battery was 100%. Disconnected the maintainer and started up the X. Started like a BMW. Remove as much of the snow from the X and proceeded on the expressway. At highway speed the snow pile that was on the roof was sent flying backward. There was a vibration in the front, but I attributed that to the snow pack and ice that I didn't clear off the wheels. After about a hour of driving the vibration went away.

Only casualty from the deep freeze is that I have an airbag light on. Will look into this when the weather is a little bit warmer.
