I can't beat -27C, but here's the only one i took a picture of...

it was a lot colder that day but i park in the garage and my commute to work is only 2.5 miles so not enough time for the car temp to drop...



1F = -17C

THANK GOD those days are behind us, today was 45ish(F)

Yes, it was bad! Saskatchewan weather... ugh.

I'm located in Saskatoon and I actually left my car unplugged last night, it was a rough start this morning. Felt bad for my car.

How's that windstorm treating you? I'm told it's supposed to be a good one?
