I forgot about those things. I think they are called "Hot Shots"
or something equally silly. I bet one of them duct taped to the
battery pack would keep the juice flowing.

Film actually gets more sensitive to light as it is cooled down,
but you have to get WAY colder than winter conditions for it to
show, soewhere around the liquifying point of Nitrogen or

compensation because of the snow.
I nailed the shot of the car flipping too!!
