You are quite right about the heaters. Everyone here "winterizes" their vehicles. This consists of putting in a battery heater, oil pan heater, and an engine block heater (where the frost plug is.) If you don't you'll freeze your vehicle up for sure.

Oh, I never had an opportunity to participate in Brim Frost, but I did go to Northern Edge a few times....
