Harsh Siberian winters

Monday week is more fun every day. Today was the climax! It seems that there is nothing that is not frozen yet and it will be like this forever. Moreover, on top of that, the longest night (Now, at the crossroads, coming up to the house, I took a picture.

Everything is in a veil of fog, but the number of cars has not really decreased. During the day, in some places, there were even traffic jams. Scanty true, but still not expecting.

Having traveled, today, in a company car, I was amazed at how many people who wanted to engage in masochism, in a particularly perverted form. This is me about those who rolled out in cars.

It's one thing when a car stood in a heated garage overnight, and quite another when you start it on the street. Even if the car is warmed up (autonomous or other heater).

The pieces of iron (except for the engine) are all cold, as well as all the rubber bands, seals and bearings …

There were especially many lonely cars standing on the road in unnatural positions. Some were without a wheel (in the sense of standing on a jack - the driver took it off), some were not without minor accidents and also without a wheel. The reason is trivial - a camera without a camera at low temperatures runs the risk of collapsing, but if it is used incorrectly, it goes down!

The topic is this, I have tubeless winter tires 45/17/235, and so the main problem is that you approach a frozen car and a couple of wheels are lowered, although you pump them up to 2.5 atm before frost. Not so long ago, I took off my shoes on two front wheels (overboard 42), while I took off everything, carried it, pumped it up, in short I got little pleasure. Having arrived at the tire service, I took off the wheels, the first thought was to put the camera, I bought a gazelle one for 16 As a result, the nipple does not fit into the hole of the disc, did not drill and grind the nipple, too, left everything as it is. Tire fitters from a bottle with a nipple, poured oil around the circumference of the disc's landing (on a disassembled wheel) and put everything in place., the front wheels are normal, and the rear one is deflated, you will have to do this procedure for the rear ones.

And yet, it is advisable to drive half a meter before the trip and warm up the car further, since the tire at the point of contact with the ground is deformed and this will give it a little "straightening".

In Russia, the choice of whether or not to install a cameraless camera, when operating a car at temperatures below -35 is not worth it! (They go without thinking.

Somehow I had a chance to change a wheel at -40. Cameraless.

The fact that the pump does not really pump is one trouble, but another, that the tire is stiff and continues to deflate! …

Alternatively, remove the wheel and heat it indoors (as I did). However, if you are on the track, the situation becomes more complicated (

Field case:

At drilling rigs, temperatures are usually several degrees lower than in cities and towns, and this is understandable.

So on one of the described ones it has already dropped below -55.

The men working on the tower dropped the crowbar down. The height was 8-10 meters.

The scrap fell and split into several pieces.

The men joked at lunch that the scrap was apparently Chinese, because with old crowbars (USSR-ovsky ones yet) this was not the case.

And at our place a truck came from Moscow with equipment.

And all nothing, they unloaded it all the way, but the Muscovites had to immediately, upon their arrival, drink tea and they had a vidocq like the Fritzes, near Moscow.

Mamzeli also go to work as for a holiday, and in such cold weather.

They just complain that eyelashes often break (from the cold).

I think that it is not a question of who will win the next World War.

In Russia, it's not like walking around Europe in Czech women … just stop buying crowbars in China!)
