Ha Ha....I lived in Flin Flon for five years. That is when I discovered square tires. In the winter of 1994 we had 28 consecutive days when the daytime high never went over -30 c.All the guys I knew with diesel engines never shut them off from mid December to late February...."oh the weather outside is frightful"
