Default Re: Cold Weather Operation

Here in the mountains of North Carolina it's gets cold. Back in 1985 we had a week with temperatures up and down but lows of 25 below. In the early sixties it snowed every Wednesday for a month and never got above freezing, I've seen photos as I wasn't born yet. So I'm wondering how it would have been back then when model A's were fairly new??

Even as a child I remember going to homes where you literally drove through creeks to get to the house. Most weren't very deep and on foot you could probably jump across. It'd be interesting to know what problems there were in more severe conditions. Could the manifold heater really do anything?? How about the windshield fogging up or freezing. I bet it was an adventure in itself sometimes for trips we absolutely take for granted.
