We only had one of our 3 vehicles start this morning in our household.

Thankfully, it was my vehicle so I could make it to work this morning. Yes, it's a Federal Holiday, but a radio station never closes.

I'm sure there are many other households across the Capital Region this morning in a similar boat as mine. It's INSANELY cold this morning, not only because of the wind chill but also because of the temperature.
