Viesturs;

We are in for another bout of cold weather, with night time lows of -30C. 

I have a block heater in my little Toyota Matrix, and when it's below about 
-20, I plug it in, and turn it on an hour or two before we try to start the car 
in the morning. 

It *does* make a difference. The car engine does turn over better than without 
it. Simple, reliable. 

Buildings here used to have (and, at work, still have) block heater plugs. But, 
now with fuel injection, the old "if it does not start in three 
rrRRRrrr-rrrRRRrrr's" when turning the ignition key go back to bed" no longer 
is an issue; the car simply starts. But, the engine makes less noises if the 
block heater has been turned on for a while beforehand.

Ottawa, where yesterday we had rain all day, and today it's forecast to hit 
-30C overnight tonight.
