Had to go out on an errand this afternoon. Got in the car and it kept trying to turn over, but no luck. I knew the lack of a plug in -30 weather would be a problem. Called CAA (second time this month) and they got to me about a half hour later, which is good service during a cold snap. He gave me a boost and told me to run it for 30 to 40 minutes to charge it. Went for a drive, got a snack at McD’s and got back after 50 minutes of driving around, so should be good tomorrow Temp has shot up to -21 C, so that should help with the starter tomorrow. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-mist-and-murk-in-the-mmp/1026814)._
