When I was a kid, I would work on my VW bug in a foot of snow, at 0 deg.
There were times the neighbors would call the police, for waking them
at 3 am on a snow covered night.  I once was yelled at, in an auto parts,
for getting snow all over the parts counter.  The coldest its ever was that
I had to get work done  outside, it was -16 deg.  Oil turns to glue,
and starting
fluid doesn't.  Multiple layers of closes work the best, combine with
hard work to generate plenty of heat.   Fast forward  30 years and it slows
me down now of days, but worst I'm still without a conveyent garage.
I've gotten to the point were I  plan ahead for the winters.    The biggest
resent mistake I've made was owning a vehcile   that requires a state
inspection in Jan.
                                            Good luck with the garage search
                                                                Joe.  W
