Remember that windchill doesn't effect your car...
I live at 1100' (the highest elevation city in New England) and love to hear
the idiots on the Boston news talking about "frigid" conditions at 20F. Its
always at least 10 degrees colder in Gardner and since we're on top of a hill
its always windy. I got a radio controlled plane a couple years ago for
Christmas but I rarely get to fly it, seems like whenever I'm ready to fly its
way to windy...

John,
I live in SE Minnesota. Yes, it's southern MN, but it is cold,
especially
when wind chill is factored in (it is a windy region and the wind chill
factors usually result in the same feel as up north MN, which doesn't
get as
much wind - this according to the weather reports on TV). We are very
familiar with sub-zero. Each winter we can look forward to quite a few
days
below zero and some teens and twenties below (wind not factored in),
and of
course, if you want to talk abnormalities, we can match anyone but
Alaska. I
remember some 70 below wind chills. Big adjustment for an AZ boy. I've
been
here some 6 or 7 winters.

On the Unimog it's a lot easier, since you can sit in the driver's
seat and point the gun at the air intake snorkel. It's metal, too,
so the heat gun is unlikely to do any damage even if mishandled.
This'd be a lot harder on a car where, if alone, you'd have to
hang the thing on the front by itself.
