After a little warm-up, we're back in the cold today, Thursday, January 23. Don't worry; the forecast from Weatherologoy says better weather is on the way, at least for the short term: 37 tomorrow, 41 on Saturday, 35 on Sunday, and 40s through the beginning of next week. Of course, it's only late January, and to think Missouri won't have more frigid weather before the transition to spring is probably wishful thinking. With that said, some things are better not left in your vehicle when it gets cold.

When it gets cold outside, many things stop working or stop working well. Vehicle locks and hinges can freeze, and diesel engines can have problems if the fuel gels. The pipes in your home can freeze and bust, and batteries in everything from power towels to cell phones don't work as effectively. The list can go on and on.

If there's good news, hopefully, we'll be out of the cold weather in a month or six weeks. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a warm spring for Missouri. Until then, however, expect some days when the weather isn't too bad and others when it will have you running to get inside quickly.
