Water fill adapter for lawn tractor tires

[Frank S]

About 20% larger volume of ice versus water Frank. Up here it's brine. Anything else is suicidal for tires. I was in Texas for the record cold winter in the early 80's. We walked around in T shirts. Came from minus 30 in Manitoba. Wimps!

My Aunt and Uncle came down from the mountains of Colorado for my Grandpa's funeral one January. Obviously used to a bit of cold weather and driving on snow. Over night we had about a 1/2" of freezing rain then topped with about an inch of snow. I told him it takes a special skill to drive on the stuff, he merely replied that he had been driving on snow for 60 years this is nothing. I thought yeah, you will be just like the city folks around here you won't get 2 miles before you find yourself in a ditch. Sure enough the first little hill we came to I saw him in my rear view mirror go side ways a few times then off the road he went. He managed to get back on the road after several attempts. We made it to the funeral home/ cemetery the entire service was to be grave site. Afterwards my extremely Portly Aunt complained about how she was freezing to death. I laughed and said you live at 6000 ft elevation in the mountains where it stays below zero for half the winter and you are crying about being cold at just a little below freezing. Don't worry the forecast for tomorrow the high will only be in the single digits the wind will be calm the sun will be shining the dew point and barometric pressure will change and it will feel like you can walk around in a bikini compared to today.
How can it be colder and you say it will feel warmer she asked. Because this is Texas it can feel warm when it is cold and cold when it is warmer and cool when it is hot, or feel hot and miserable when it is only warm. You can get stuck in 1/2" of snow or drive 80 MPH when it is several inches deep Welcome to Texas either learn to live with it or go home. I thought my Uncle was going to bust a gut laughing.
