    Seems like every year or so I need to relearn this lesson.

    Most of us here in US (aka the ‘lower 48’) are aware of the massive and unseasonal sub normal temperatures of the past week.

    Like most folks I leave my garage door opener remote in my car pretty much 24/7/365.

    Well, over the last few days my remote became extremely cranky… Since my prime entry to the house is the garage this was not a good thing. Once I got into the house and let the remote warm up a bit it was behaving more or less OK.

    I’ve had this happen in the past; usually in winter I stop leaving the remote in the car but rather let it ride in my coat pocket. I’d forgotten.

    And no, keeping an extra cell in the car I don’t think is a solution; it would just react to the cold. Duh!

    L’chaim!
