Deep Freeze

More arctic temperatures, I think we started today at -27°C. Decided to see how the Land Rover would handle that, and, aside from a slight grumble and slow turnover at startup, there wasn't a problem. There was a brief pause before setting off as the transfer box decided to slip from four wheel drive into neutral without telling me, but that was soon solved.

It took a while for the engine temperatures to come up to normal, even with the radiator grill cover, in fact I think they stayed just short of their normal 82°F throughout the drive.

Just posting this photo, as it shows both the road ahead and the road behind, while light snow squalls put some moisture on the windshield.
