The lowest temperature you got this season (in your car)

AZ, yes...people run at this temperatures, car motors also....but you should not stop this, will be a problem to start this up again if it freezes. Almost every car has preheater, and most of parkings near houses equipped by electric plugs to heat an engine before start-up.

-2 this morning.

Do you prepare the liquid for cleaning the glass (windshield) yourself?
Here the mixture (anti-freezing liquid + water) which one can buy in the shops is working till -20°C. It the temperature is lower, you get bad surprises.

I do i made a mixture of ethanol with water - i wash windscreen by vodka

but this because our shops provide absolute crap. In such a cold climate you do not need windscreen washer. When the temperature goes about -20 windscreen stays clear.

I will check, and if not come back this will mean that i do not want your heard to bleed

))))) Joke

I use 96% ethanol and make a mixture with water and couple drops of FAIRY

. Washer liquids became awful quality and expensive when government decide that ethanol containing washer liquid can be used as digestive and put additional taxes on it :-)So, it disappear from market and no good quality liquid avaliable now. Our roads so dirty that windscreen washer consumption some times goes to gasoline consumption. Sometimes run for 300-400 km is enough to hide the color of your car. The road service put sand&salt mixture to destroy ice film on the road and if you try to pass over a huge track - your car became totally shit all over. You need a liquid with extremal washing capabilities - so i get it making it by myself

From illegal ethanol that is cheap

Sorry Istvan, seems that i introduce another reason for your heart to bleed
