  In Yellowknife, NWT, they have the plug-ins at the grocery mart.
You're in there for maybe an hour - temp outside is -30Celsius (dude
that made up the centigrade thing)...daytime temp.  I had the good
fortune to spend some time there.  Winter highway goes across the
lake, ice six feet thick.  Summer's are great tho', only dark for a
few hours.
