Hey Duane!

Well, it is 5° here in Bartlesville, fortunately little or no wind.

The windchill is a thing that is calculated for its effect on the

human body, and how fast it loses heat. (Since you wipe out long

before you freeze through, it is lot different on you than on a car.)

The only effect of wind chill on a car is that it gets to the actual

ambient temp quicker, but still does NOT go below that ambient.

So if your antifreeze is good to +5°, the temp is +7° and the windchill

is -35°, your car still won't freeze. If the actual temp of your

engine gets to +4°, it might.

I've never had a waterpump lock up if there was any reasonable

proportion of antifreeze in the system, because usually the

mix only freezes to a slushy state until it gets a LOT colder

than the stated freezing point. Of course if you don't have

ANY it will freeze like a rock.

My 164 was frozen solid a couple times in East Carolina, main result

being the swelling of the radiator popped the solder joint of the

side straps at the top of the tank. Poured hot water over the radiator

and it started (somewhat unwillingly) and got circulation pretty quick,

after which I drained enough water to put in some more antifreeze.

Pretty tough engine and cooling system!

So you got a railroad ISP? I would say that is a bit of an anachronism

but I saw on CNN that the eastern corridor high-speed train made its

first commercial run from Washington to Boston yesterday - 3 hours

to New York and a little over 5 to Bean City. Keep warm there and

stop by if you go south on US 75.
