Cars don't feel wind chill, it was just -25C.

I went out this morning to my Hyundai rental, it was -31C actual. Didn't bother to plug it in last night, it was in a hotel parking lot and the plug-ins were a distance from the lobby. Started fine. Same last night, and this afternoon. Steering was a little stiff for the first 5 km.

It is sad when a Hyundair rental from National is the more dependable option.
