ONE DEGREE!

This was as we entered Idaho Friday night on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation of the Shoshone-Paiute tribes on our way to visit our daughter in the Boise, Idaho area. It's my wife's best picture of the indoor/outdoor thermometer showing the outside temperature as we drove along the old two lane state highway from Elko, Nevada to Mountain Home, Idaho.

Fortunately, Old Henry had the new fresh air heater that Ford started installing in late 47 so we were nice and cozy warm inside at 72° (coulda been a LOT hotter but I have a variable control on the heater water to keep from being roasted out).

This was a new record low temperature while traveling on a road trip. Previous record low was driving to Milford three years ago with Old Betsy Williams for a very cold overnighter: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93137

Total distance in two days: 898 miles. No mechanical problems.
