Work done since Jan 2nd - 1098 out of ROO and disassembled, block & crank in hot tank at machine shop, engine bay empty, shell ready to move to another heated garage for removal of sub frame & steering rack, prep & paint of the engine bay.
Picking up 7 of my tires, lightweight flywheel & backing plate, miscellaneous bits...maybe 5 more tires for another & 2 windscreens in Victoria on Tuesday.
Got to take advantage of our mild coastal climate. Offset, we do get a lot of rain at lower elevations, a lot of snow on the mountains.
Do not envy you one iota!

It just won't warm up !
I can only imagine how stiff the rubber doughnuts would be in the MINI. I've driven them at -15 or so....and that is a rough ride.
Looking forward to spring driving !

~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~

A kid's hockey tournament here had to be moved indoors because it was too cold for the ice of the $5.6 million dollar rink. Ice Cold
Bill: it is too cold to drink beer outside... it will freeze.

BTW, you could blanket the engine and leave a light bulb lit under the sump overnite. You'd be surprised how much heat a light bulb generates.
And at those low temps, who would drive a mini with a chance of breaking down only to walk to safety.
Cold in NY. Not like Canada of course. Been in low teens all week.
