I can’t fathom that temp when we’re experiencing daily temps in the mid to high 30’s (°C) and overnight lows anywhere between 10 and the mid 20’s.
Yesterday we peaked just over 40°C and we were still at 29°C at midnight. Overnight low dropped to 25°C.
So well below zero temps with engine blocks etc freezing is difficult to comprehend, it’s very rare for that to happen over here, even in our snow country (that we’re lucky to even have in the first place!).
I didn’t know about block heaters until this forum, and I’ve just learnt about battery warming blankets...
