Man the cold is such a killer... i always feel terrible for ppl out in the cold walking, and in this day and age you hardly find ppl willing to offer rides to someone due to society. they are nervous about what "strangers" will do to them. i offer rides to ppl to get them out from cold. ppl just dont offer help anymore it sucks.

Closest comparison i have to that would be when i went ice fishing in New Hampshire. The actual temp that it was evades me but the jeep we were going to take on the lake was a frozen block of metal and rubber... battery stone dead, steering wheel frozen, finally got it started and had to wait a great deal of time for steering to thaw..

man SUCH A PITA!!!
