When we lived out in the bush without a garage I had a block heater, a battery mat, and a pan heater for the automatic tranny, and there were still days around 40-50 below actual that you simply weren't going anywhere

Yeah that doesnt sound pleasant lol. We have used those years ago on at a coal powerhouse project on the heavy equipment. They do work quite well. But when its this cold its a no no to even crank over a machine.
On a higher note drivers door handle broke on the buick today...and the battery is dead. Got a new acdelco on order and just picked up a new door handle. Got the charger on boost and then make my way to inlaws garage to tear door apart. F me lol

I hit dislike simply because that's not what you want to hear this time of year, or a job you want to take on either
Once again, when we lived out in the bush (Bethel Alaska) the heater blower on my Chevy pickup went out at 20-30 below and had to be replaced in the driveway, I replaced a starter on my Suburban at 20 below laying in the driveway, etc etc
I was younger then (40s-50s) but still...
Hope you get it sorted my friend and Merry Christmas

Re: what's your weather currently like?
Partially frozen pipes with rolling blackouts. First time I've experienced a rolling blackout here but the local news is telling everyone "this happens all the time....this is completely normal... "
Me thinks we've entered a new pandemic
Merry Christmas
