I've lived in place where it can be -40°F, and nobody parks his car in the garage. All cars sleep outside during the 4-6 month below 0°F. The cars (engines) are plugged and start without any problem (less problems than in my place where it goes rarely below 15°F). Bringing the car in the garage is a whole set of problem with packed ice melting, re-freezing, re-melting, etc.
- grecy 10y agoI lived in the Yukon for 4 years. It's not just "can be -40F" it's "doesn't go above -35F for 4 months". -45F is common overnight. Up there, we have a block heater, battery blanket and oil pan heater - MINIMUM. If you've got a diesel you want at least two oil pan heaters, three if they fit!
- jessaustin 10y agoThese are not typical conditions for human habitation. If you're saying that attached garages in the Yukon are beautiful, who would argue?
- grecy 10y ago...That's precisely what my parent comment says. Also note there are millions of people living in colder conditions than I.
