[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 353368, member: 330"] Cold feet have always been my death. This is not foolproof: Slather the feet in underarm antiperspirant, next layer is a polyester dress sock, next layer is whatever winter sock. Get to the stand, and immediately take off your boots. Stick feet in fancy camo booties or wrap in a blanket. IME if this isn't feasible; don't sit--keep moving until just before "lukewarm". Like a resting steak you'll get warmer. Don't forget to vent. Moisture is the enemy. Wool is still probably your best friend. Here is a poser which caused many an argument when I worked in the oilpatch: What fucking sense is present to be active in -20 and get in the cab of a truck with the fucking heater set at 75+?!! In both my jobs I was able to shift the paradigm with scant math skill. Holy shit you could run the gd AC (and accidently did with zero effect to the vehicle). Sorry: What is the differential between -20 and 58 degrees?...How would that feel?!! Another tangent: I'm still having a hell of a time convincing folks back in the Hills of the potential detriment of constant defrost and benefit of shifting to neutral before slick intersections and going down hill. They all still believe low 1 is the way to go in the above situations. There is no more Granny Gear. Even if there were; without deliberation required to initiate the proper RPM; the drivetrain locks. Wheeeee I'm sorry I didn't exactly specify "modern" and "common" automatic transmissions. I further surmise the "pause" between gears in a manual trans is the source of my argument. Lots of wood/coal/gravel/etc is transported at extreme angles Back In The Hills...with diesel fuel.
