Listen to your wife, no matter how cold it is it doesn't stop me, I have a great heater in my PiP it's called the gas engine!

 

you're right, but when you're only going a few miles here and there in this weather, the ice won't provide much heat anyway.

 

thanks, will you be using the cabin heater?

 

With grill blocking starts raising cabin temps pretty fast, I'd say in less than 5 minutes.

 

"Starts" is the key word there.

It all depends on trip length/duration.

 

and outside temps. the colder it gets, the more i want heat and the longer it takes. plus, in all honesty, i like ev miles

 

Yep, I have at least two trips a day of 2.7 miles, takes me about 4-6 minutes. I do that in all EV. I can't see the need for heat for such a short trip. Ask me again after the next four days!

 

is it below zero again?

 

Nope a hot 20 degrees but wait till tonight -13, high Sunday -5 low -26, Monday -12 low -26, Tuesday -3 low -16.
At least no snow! like you!

 

Brrrrr...still going out for coffee?

 

Only way to keep warm!

 

we got hit pretty hard, especially along the coast. not bad here, 12-15" of light and fluffy. it's the cold i can't stand. if we had temps like you, i would have to knock my house down and build a superinsulated one. i think i've used half a tank of oil in the last week just trying to keep it in the mid 60's.

 

I'll bet they are using a 12 volt heater...?

 

Ah. Different animal.

 

Easy - just drive at no more than 40MPH, preferably on level ground. ;-)

 

no, it was 120v.

 

I think I'd have a little Folgers stored somewhere. If I didn't have a filter, I'd use a paper towel before going out in those temps
