The only body heat that you can get in that cold is to have a good looking seatcover wth you + 2 or 3 bottles of OBS. and a nice fire place and one of these long hair carpets, and dont forget the do not disturb card on the door handle
Damn! It was cold last night.

Re: Damn! It was cold last night.
Hey Henry... damn thats cold. The coldest I have ever been was in North Germany in the middle of winter, at -26C and a 30knot arctic wind hitting me straight on.
Second coldest was at -5C in SA one winter. Not talking about temperature but actual feeling cold.
A point I tried to make (dodnt think I did) was that in SA we are not kitted ou for the cold the way the houses in the colder climates are. It doesnt get so cold to require double glazing and god insulation. Which means that when it does get cold, you suffer.
Alas, I dont like winter or anything below 20C so I suppose I am not the best person to complain about how cold things get....

Re: Damn! It was cold last night.
friend of mine showed me photo's of his car aerial at Kestel FS Vrystaat. Looked like a blade (3cm) as the ice was packing while driving about 2 week ago.
