My 1.5 year old daughter just HAD to go sledding one night. It was 18 degrees below zero out, and we played for almost an hour before she got tired enough to come in. Yes, I know it was past her bedtime, but what father can resist a little girl that REALLY wants to go sledding with him? Kids come with built in furnaces and can handle cold temperatures surprisingly well. Which is why we never idled the car to prewarm it.

And she survived it. She's 17 now.
