   I have seen that kind of cold a lot before and understand the importance of having your vehicle start. We have better batteries and equipment now and can't imagine trying to be that daring back then

   Brrrrrrrrr! 6 volt rigs turn over slow to begin with. Imagine 63 below zero on top of that, yikes!

   I was wondering how they kept their gas from getting too cold? Imagine my surprise during my first winter in Wisconsin that gasoline get's too cold to flow (I would say it froze, but that's not exactly the case).

   Coldest I've ever been in was 35 below and trying to start Chevy V8 diesels.

   Up here in northern MN we get windchill factors of 60- 70 below zero and that sucks. I don't even think about taking a jeep out or the diesel for that matter. That's why this article amazes me

   I know it does not normally get that cold here except the last couple winters with wind chills of -40,but try keeping outboard motors running in January sub-zero temps in Pittsburg,PA. or Newark,N.J.Or diesels with summer fuel that gels up or winter fuel that has been treated but still gets too much condensate and freezes at 5 below.Its all so much fun,right! :) Back to the posting,great story as allways,Dave!
