Once your heat is on and the car runs awhile, it will unfreeze. I also sprayed some WD-40 in the door. Happened to me last week.

Default Going to Wisconsin

Have to travel tomorrow to WI for a couple days tomorrow and not looking forward to it except to wear all the heavy duty coats and cloths I never have to wear here in SC.

Was 65'F here and played golf Friday and Tennis Saturday....

As someone said about moving, left Cleveland 30 years ago and never looked back except to visit.

Spyder from warm SC
