In a related note to the earlier story, Beth and I had to pick up a friend at the airport on Saturday night, so she started the car and let it run for a couple of minutes to warm up the engine while we stayed inside. Having a second set of keys, she locked the car doors (my idea) to keep the car from wandering off on its own. Of course, we came back outside only to find out that the door remote doesn't work while the engine is running, and all the locks (even the trunk) were frozen solid. It was -11 outside and midnight, but I think we handled the situation pretty well. Just not as well as our near saint of a landlady, who arrived with her lock de-icing spray while I was still looking for a place to plug in an extension cord and hair-dryer.
And we made it to the airport in time to wait in the parking lot for a half hour before our friend's baggage finally came out.
