We are told to expect 25 to 35 below tonight. It was 15 below this morning and about zero right now. No wind. It's really kind of mellow, although those cheap Japanese cars such as Toyotas need to be plugged in so they will start.

Where I used to live, those are balmy temperatures. Use synthetic oil in the crankcase -- you'll have no problems starting to about -40. Provided your battery works, of course. If the battery is not fully charged, it will freeze -- causing internal short circuits in the battery.

What a great image from Scarborough! I spent a month in Yorkshire(Humberside College) and literally cried when it was time to leave. Whitby...Robin Hood's Bay... Lincoln... Nottingham... what wonderful memories of lovely places and lovely people.
