Well booo-fricken-hoooo... this IS an international forum remember! I'm not even in the "extreme north" and last winter we had a week where the temp didn't get above -30C... try THAT and tell me I shouldn't idle my car for a bit!

As for the compressor, i wouldn't turn it off because it blows dry air on my window for defog. Without it I'm screwed.
