Poo baby.  It was -25 degrees in upstate NH where we had the NEQ 
winter driving school.  High of about -4 degrees(wind picked up 
sunday, then snow; the wind was even worse).  That's almost sixty 
degrees below freezing, and almost 80 degrees colder than what you're 
whining about :-)  Enough that your nosehairs freeze when you exhale, 
and if you have a facemask- your eyelashes get ice on them.  My seats 
were like plywood(the leather and foam were rock hard), and despite a 
brand new Optima with more cranking amps than Thor, the engine barely 
turned over(10w30).  Caught on the third rev though! 
Rrrrr...Rrrrr....Rrrrrbbbbrrrmm!

I was out for probably 8 hours both days working+shooting pics...
