Just Plug it in!!


You are probably wondering what the title of this posting means!! On our first day in Fairbanks, I came across a notice in the lobby of our hotel - Plug it in!! I thought it had something to do with computer plug-ins but after reading further it said something about plugging in your car 25 minutes before driving. It was later on that we found out from the CDE staff that this an important activity during the winter season to warm up car engines before being driven. You will also require to change your tyres for those most suitable for the winter season. In the picture above, Curt is plugging in his car after our visit to the President of UA.

    There is a device you can purchase that is essentially an electric dipstick. It keeps the oil warm enough to flow. Others just leave their autos running all the time!
