How We Drive a Car at -50°C (-58°F) | Yakutia, Siberia
Driving a car in the coldest inhabited place on Earth - is a daunting task. With temperatures dropping as low as -70°C, an unprotected car freezes within minutes.

I grew up in the Canadian Arctic. -40 to -50 happened regularly. The Land of the Midnight Sun in summer is also the land of no sun, in winter. Everybody had plug in electric engine heaters. In fact, they are standard equipment for almost every car sold in Canada. They will warm the engine enough to start down to -50 if the front of the car is covered. Problem is, with that kind of cold, stuff just breaks. I have been stranded by vehicles in colder than -40 a few time. It isn't fun. Thanks for sharing. Those guys are real troopers.

When I served in the Norwegian military I remember it got down to around -35-40°C a couple of nights, and man how much it changes things. Just enduring the cold isn't as bad as long as you are properly equipped, but man you have to constantly plan ahead for everything, and even the simplest tasks becomes slow and hard to do. For instance maintining your weapon, it's a pain in the ass to do with gloves, but touching metal with bare skin in those temperatures isn't cool(pun intended) either :)

In northern Alaska where it usually gets colder (-40 to -50C) they do the same for their vehicles, where they cover up the front grill for insulation. Normally, if you have a diesel powerplant, which is popular there, they have plug in electric heaters to help keep the engine warm or just let them run. If you have a gasoline powerplant, it works quite well in low temperatures, especially fuels containing ethanol (usually 10%), the ethanol works as an antifreeze. However, in some cases you'll be better off using additives in gasoline in very low temperatures, just like with diesel fuel.

@@ToddMoore1 We're no strangers to cold in northern BC buy you folks from northern AB and SK take it on the chin - and work through it. I used to sell Caterpillar gear and they often had to run multiple lines of power out to the panel that supplied all the heaters for a big machine. On a three-shift operation it's easier - the loaders and trucks only come in to the shop for oil changes and are working (warm) the rest of the time. They had one spot, wired with big power, where one unit could be fully plugged in if necessary. Start with multiple engine block heaters, add a circulating heater for rad, and another one for each type of oil, hydraulic and steering and two for the transmission - I think I remember nine different, full power heaters on one big Cat Loader. That's a lot of amps - a house sized power panel to feed it.

I have identical car. Its engine is not economical but is built with big gaps between parts and with low compression ratio, both helping in low temps. Cooling circuit is 13 litres. It takes a longer time to warm it up but there is a "lifehack" described in manual. You have to pour all coolant (or literally - water) into a bucket and take it to home.When you have to use your car., In winter, you can warm up the coolant almost to boiling point on your stove and refill your engine, which helps to initially warm up the engine. When needed, you can repeat the operation with anoter portion of water. There also was an accessory, mounted in military and Siberian versions of this UAZ 469 or ZIL trucks. Small gasoline stove mounted in cooling circuit. It could warm the engine to above zero Celsius which made the oil liquid bach and helped to run the engine. I did the same tricks with machines in Antarctica, then I have built electrical warme for our bulldozer. And I have connected cooling circuit of our tractor with cooling circuit of power generator, which helped keeping acceptable engine temperature all day.
A suggestion for those storing their cars for the winter. Jack the cars up and put them on blocks or jack stands. That way when the tires lose air from sitting and the air condenses from the cold temps, the tires won't get deformed when they go flat. You'll need to put air in them before you drop the car back down though. Just something I've learned over the years from storing vehicles for the winter.

Doing some tough times I had a live in the motorhome during a very cold winter. Something interesting I found out was that if I shoveled snow around the bottom of the motorhome, it kept the wind and the cold front coming in underneath and made it a lot warmer inside the motor home. Also that plastic sealing kit you see for sale in hardware stores? You know the one that you use a blow-dryer to shrink wrap it on the window tightly works really well if done correctly!
The temperature would get to -45F where I grew up in Wyoming in the United States. One thing I did with my battery was build an insulated box around it and put a 75 watt light bulb in the box to act as a heater to keep the battery warm. Another thing I do in the winter is to use mixed air conditioner air with heated air inside the car while driving. The air conditioned air is dry and helps remove moisture from inside the vehicle and the windshield. It really helps keep the windows from frosting on the inside.

The coldest temp I’ve experienced is -30°C, which was fairly cold, but the weather was pretty dry. I actually think the times it’s been -10-15°C but really snowy and windy it feels much worse. It really seeps into your clothes and makes your clothes wet, which is the absolute worst feeling.
I lived in Northern Ontario for a few years and we’d see -43c/-47c coldest, everything was plugged in and diesel and some days the town would just stop. If you bought fuel at one of the cheap stations it was watered down and would freeze up your fuel tank and lines and you’d have to heat up the vehicle in a shop. I don’t miss that weather.

I mean, its quite common knowledge for people that live in cold areas to cover the radiator when the car is not keeping its temperature up, and most people would buy a car with/add a block heater that warms the engine up instead of running a diesel heater underneath their car. (ofc that takes electricity, so if you're limited on that you would have to use a diesel heater, or even a fire under the engine/transmission like they did in the old days.) Never seen someone put double glass on the front window though, only seen people cover the rear windows with heat-reflective material to keep heat inside the car so that was interesting.

In Alberta, Canada we sometimes put a cardboard sheet over the radiator to reduce excessive cooling of the engine. And all vehicles come with a plug-in engine block heater to keep the oil liquid. I installed a heated battery wrap as well. That problem with interior windshield fogging/frosting happens to me whenever the temperatures drops below -30°C, but the windshield defroster is usually enough to keep it clear once the engine is warm. I'm sure the auto manufacturers never build anything with -50°C in mind, so good job with the smart modifications to keep the vehicle safely driveable.

Years ago, a young man left his house wearing a T-shirt and jeans to drive a few miles. This was winter in the UK and it was snowing heavily, and his car got stuck in snowdrifts on the motorway. He kept the engine running for the heater until he ran out of fuel, and wearing only a T-Shirt and jeans, he began to get very cold, very quickly. He eventually abandoned his car to trek across fields to where he could see an illuminated building. His frozen body was found in the field after searchers began to look for him. That this could happen in the UK on its main motorway was shocking, but preparedness is vital, so is common sense, and whilst he went from a heated house to his heated car, he hadn't considered what would happen if he was delayed or stuck, and being so inappropriately dressed for the conditions. . I keep a winter emergency kit in my car, which includes a minus 20 degrees sleeping bag, food, drinks, snacks, water, stove, etc. If I become stranded I have everything necessary to support life and keep morale high. I also have an axe, saw, snow shovel and spade, so if possible I can self rescue!

Most people have an emergency kit in their car which included a shovel, candles and food. I enjoyed your video. I’m glad I live in Southern Alberta where the winter is much less severe.
I live in southern norway. We rarely see temperatures much lower then -20 celcius. Last week its been around -15 celcius. I have engine and coupe warmer installed in the car so I plug it into an outside electrical socket. It'll start up automatically about an hour before I leave for work so the car is nice and warm when I leave and the engine runs pretty smooth right off the bat.
Here in Wisconsin, we do get cold spells of -20F to -30F. I treat my old diesel truck pretty well. I plug in the block heater when it gets below 40F. Winter front goes on below 10F. Premium winterized fuel, and I use more additives.
