60 PSI is enough to make a small amount of snow.

Wonder what 1/2 GPM flow rate equates to in snow volume?

Jury rigging - Skill sailors have for fixing stuff with what they have
Jerry rigging/Jerry built - Shoddy workmanship
Nigger rigging - Just gone MacGuyver on that sumbitch.

^ Naw, Afro-Engineering is the slang term. Nigger-rigging is the PC term.

It certainly is cold enough that my truck does NOT want to start. I have to energize the glow plugs for like a full minute to get it warm enough.
