Hi guys,
Here is a great post about winter flying. Some good tips and equipment suggestions.

-28 here this morning in Vermont. Been years since we've seen that low a temp. -5 to -10 is common but this is ridiculous. Oh, and to top that off, my power went out at 3:30am and just came back on at 8. I was starting to freak out measuring water pipe temps with my IR temp meter and most of them were at 32deg. Had to run out and get my propane tank refilled and my Mr Buddy heater fired up in the basement to try to keep the pipes from freezing. Everything's fine at this point but it's getting old....
Oh, and a Prius will start at -28 no problem. It will make some weird noises, but it WILL start ;-)
