You know it's cold when...
... Your plastic grille block becomes so brittle that it brakes.

... The chains on your tires start to thermally contract.

... "Nonfreezing" windshield fluid starts to freeze.

... Your neighbor's car doesn't start in the morning, so you help to push it. Once it gets started it drags you because your gloves froze to the trunk lid.

... Your 7 year old battery finally starts to show the first signs of old age.

... You park your car for only 10 minutes and the engine is 10°C/18°F cooler when it starts again.

... When an engine off coast of only 2km cools your engine by at least 5-8°C.
