Go to yesterday's blog, or any day's blog for that matter, and quote post #1 (one of the black buttons in the lower right of posts). Copy everything within the dialog box from top to bottom. Create a new thread for the new blog and paste what you copied into the new thread's dialog box. Delete the quote brackets [ ] at the beginning and end of what you pasted. Then edit a few things within the text; the date and who started the blog (at the bottom).

Hope that helps. Maybe try this again on today's?

Good morning guys, -3 °F (feels like -20 °F).

I know maybe it's not really funny, but it's almost comical to see the South deal with the snow and ice that is basically day-to-day for us Northerners. 1-3" of snow for Atlanta and everything is shut down. I get it, they don't have the equipment to deal with it, but seriously; there's places in the Upper Peninsula of MI with 50+" of snow ON THE GROUND right now.

Seems like we're shooting down records left and right. Here's some of Ann Arbor area's January 2014 (so far):

37" of snow (3x the normal amount)
7 days below zero
28 consecutive days below freezing (so, every day this month)
40 days it has snowed (since Dec. 1)

Apparently Michigan, mile for mile, has the most snow cover of any state.

University of Michigan closed campus yesterday for the first time since 1978.

Some pics of Ann Arbor's winter. Ann Arbor's Barton Dam, along the Huron River, is just about 100% frozen over.

In addition to the above^^^

For all those who don't know. When it gets to a certain temp, it becomes to cold for road salt to do anything. We've had those temps most of january already.

Yep, there's been quite a few of those and, actually, we're dealing with that right now.

Hoping to get the Cruze back from the dealership today. Went back in the other day for the intermittent electrical problem I've been having for a year; this one > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/mo...y-cruze-45829/. This time, they actually narrowed it down to a specific power cable that likely has a short in it so they're replacing the cable/harness.

Good morning everyone!

Lou, I believe that temperature is just single-digit (F) temps. Which is crazy considering how much we have had single digit weather lately.

I went back and did what you said, and it worked Matt. Well for the most part, it is kind of off to the left but it is still better than what I had before lol

Looks good, I think you somehow deleted the [center] bracket at the beginning.
