It's because the City Folks (NYC, Boston) aren't used to it!

I don't mind the cold too much - except it is keeping me from heavy working
on the cars.  I've got a Carport, not a garage.

I went Ice Racing in Pitsfield, Massachusetts about 15 years ago - Wind
Chill was -35F (-37C) with real temps -19F.  The only problem - The Radiator
of the Cricket was icing up.  I forgot to get the car warmed up before I got
into Mass.  Car handled extremely well though!

Ya know, when it hit -40 F in Montana, didn't hear a
word about it on the news. When it drops belw 20
degrees in New England, it seems as if the world is
going to end... :-)
