Charlie you don't want what we have today. It is so cold that there are 
actually some cancellations of school and such things due to extreme 
wind chill factors. They are saying it went as far as -50C down in the 
southwest near Swift Current. Luckily for me I have enough trees around 
the yard and I hardly know the wind is blowing. Thermometer shows about 
-24F right now. Lets just say that a lengthy power outage would be a 
serious problem right about now. I need to plug in the block heater on 
the Cockshutt 40 so I can put a hay bale or two out for the cattle 
sometime today. Would it start without the electric block heater? Maybe, 
but I would'nt want to bet the farm on it.
