So - do you guys have block warmers and stuff up there...and what about your battery? Wouldn't that shit freeze too? I have even noticed my two-year old Interstate battery not as strong as it used to be in these temps. It still starts the car no problem, but it doesn't crank it like it used to.
20F!! That's only -7C...my god...I don't even put my winter jacket on when it's that warm (notice how I said that 'warm' not cold).

As far as block heater...yah we have them...usually don't use it (read = never)...not even sure where the plug is....my landlord charges me anyway if I do. As far as the battery...that's what the "CCA #" means, "cold cranking amps"...higher the better...(can't remember what mine is)
but is seems to do well...

"mycivic"...heh...30F!...(-1.1C)...I don't even "wear" a jacket in that weather...sweater tops!

"Question"...what would make my ignition hard to turn in that type of temperature...I thought I was gonna snap off my key!
