The last time I remember temperatures like this was a lifetime ago. I was living in Peace River and teaching at an elementary school in a nearby community. I believe it was the winter of ‘86-87. I was fortunate enough to live across a green space from my fellow teacher otherwise half the students would have been without an instructor. I could walk to her place without getting frostbite; the car refused to acknowledge the turn of a key despite being plugged in.
Twice that winter it had to be towed to a local garage to thaw out and, despite that history, the car was sold to a young Peace River man at the end of my tenure there.
Thankfully, I currently have at my disposal two vehicles that endure this kind of weather with few complaints. One resides year round in a carport without being plugged in. The other has not yet been plugged in this year. I may have to plug it in today 😉. Even in - no, especially in this weather - online sales are the go to for many people and I have to venture out to the post office to get product off to their rightful owners. Carport vehicle it is.
