John,
First things first.
You better think of installing a tank heater, or at least a lower hose
heater, so the VW will want to start, in the sub zero temps.
Get a grill cover made to keep your tootsies toasty.
Purchase some 5W oil to run in the winter, or at least some 5W20.
Oil turns into molassis up there real quick. The roads up there are
cleaned up faster than you can imagine, so chains aren't really nessary,
and I don't think you can run them anyway unless it's a emergency
(Getting un-stuck, then take them off)
Why in the heck would anyone want to move to the "Land of Eternal Cold"
anyway?

Hasta,

Terry
