Er, if your jeep dies at 15-20 degrees you got problems. I had it running out at -6 F the other day, getting gas, and that was the only time I was worried (and I was more worried about the oil than anything else.)

Gonna be -2 tomorrow night ambient, with wind chills about -20 here in good 'ol Detroit metroland. Won't be that cold tonite, prolly only around 10 or so. Just 8-12" of snow with winds up to 40mph in gusts.
Happiness is knowing the company's VP 'officially' discouraged employees from driving to work tomorrow morning due to the weather (everyone working from home) but still knowing you could make it in if your really had to!

About the same up here in the Fort.
About -5 this morning, Jeep almost didn't start and had no oil pressure for about five seconds after starting. Glad my heater works well.
