Default RE: Any tips on flying when cold and snowy

I can add another good tip. We all know that our engines are hard to start when it is seriously cold. I have flown in 10 degree f. and here is the trick. Keep a can of Zippo lighter fluid handy. Squirt a shot in the opened carburator and crank the engine. It will start quickly but run poorly until the lighter fluid is used up.
