While I lived in northern Alberta (brrrrr), my old LeMans didn't take as
well to the cold as the '93 Dak did, so I not only used a block heater, but
placed a battery warmer around the battery (looked like a waterproof heating
pad) and also installed a interior car warmer (basically a blow dryer) that
kept the frost from forming on the window.
Whenever someone asked what the three electrical plugs hanging down the
grill were for, my reply was simple: the car's electric and that's how I
charge it up. :)
I'm not sure if these items are still on the market, but they were in
Edmonton 5 years ago.
