During the late '40's it was my job to go outside at 20/30 below at mid night to start my dads truck, keeping it running until it got good and warm, this would insure that the truck would start in the morning..
My son in-law in Montana uses a propane weed burner to heat up his tractors/trucks so they will start in the winter..
And people wonder why I live in SoCal.. DAH
