Frank if that was the winter of (I think) 1967 (help me out here) there was one week it never got above -20 F and even in New York City it never got above zero. I was living at the Copper Cannon at the time and after the people from the Texaco station in town helped me revive my 1957 Chevrolet, I had to start it up once every four hours until the weather broke. It was a measured -54 at the Littleton weather station six miles away. It was always a little colder in the Easton Valley.

There had been a couple of wandering hippies camped out in the Cannon who'd moved on but had left a couple sleeping bags. I snagged them, and I'd pull the Chevrolet up by the back door, hoist the battery our and put it inside, I'd open the hood, lay the sleeping bags over the 283, cover that with the Sunday New York Times, drop the hood down and then go under and hang a 100 w bulb on a drop cord up over the fan. That kept it alive.
