There are colder places, but it is pretty bad. Last year the all-time
lows were around -25deg. F for a few days, but this doesn't happen often.
It's just the accumulation of water and ice coupled with leaving
my poor baby out in the cold with no garage. I might add, when the cold
really hit, the Audi was the only thing to start. I rescued 3 of my
friends' cars and my girlfriend's . Hope I didn't jinx myself by saying
this...
