OK, I may have exaggerated a bit... I left there when I was 16... but if you factor in the wind chill, approx 70mph winds... BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! I do remember one winter where the gas cars would not start, we had to drain the antifreeze, bring it in the house, and heat it on the coal furnace, and warm up the battery before it would even crank... then the fuel would just plug up the filters.
but that tractor with the twin block heaters just purred along... no cab, driving through a blizzard... no fun.
