John, it's a wonder I could get my fingers working at all, it was so bloody cold today. The cancelled school because they couldn't start the buses (wind chill of 23 below, air temp of 5 below - and we were the "hot" spot of central New York.)
That is normal mid January weather for us. Last year we had a few days that hit -45 and the wind chills were -65 to -70. Try starting your car in that.
We all have block heaters in our cars. We plug them in to heat up the oil and antifreeze. Otherwise, our cars wouldn't start.
