[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 640797, member: 1963"] Lowest I've seen up here is -55 F with wind chills. You don't get used to it. That's what I refer to as "stupid cold". You fool around with that type of cold and you die. You go out and run your car warm several times a day so the battery doesn't freeze up and you make sure to drive it every day so the tires don' t freeze and crack, same deal with hoses, etc. I have my car going in to be serviced on the 2nd. They will change to winter weight oil, winter antifreeze, winter solvents for windows, etc., all to deal with the cold. You HAVE to run your car warm before driving in those temps, otherwise metal warps and rubber gets brittle and breaks. I often spend more money on gas for warming up the car than I do for actual driving. I'd still take these temps over run of temps in the 90s. [/QUOTE]
