I think they must put different fuel and anti-freeze in cars here, because it always just seems to start with no cold-related problems. The hotel we stayed at on New Years Eve offered us a car heater for an extra $10. Apparently it keeps the inside of the car warm and stops ice forming on the outside. As we spend most of our time just leaving the car outside, we figured we didn’t need a heater for one night. And we don’t even know if the hire car has that heater thingy anyway.
The car has snow tyres (which are a legal requirement here in winter) with metal studs in them. Greg says driving in snow is a bit like driving in dirt, and thankfully he has had plenty of dirt road driving experience.
