And remember to plug car in before going to bed or good luck next morning. I remember someone from a warm climate seeing the extension cables trailing across the yard and commenting "Wow you have electric cars!" This was in the 80s.
Yes, it's always good to spend some money on a decent battery but things like this may happen. A week or so with temperatures below -20C combined with short commuting distance would kill most of the batteries.
Having said that I am probably one of the very few who really misses frosty winters (and other seasons) and not so much appreciates heat and humidity of Singapore. In that respect I am probably in a wrong place.
I miss autumn, and the first snowfall. But Jan-Mar, I am always thankful for nice warm Singapore.

Alberta. Good skiing country.
Alberta, Canada right? Not MN I'm assuming.
Yes Alberta is still part of Canada, last I checked. Unless the US has designs on their oil?
Hahaha that's what I thought, though it's also a city in Minnesota, so just making sure

It’s not so South that it’s in Florida but traditionally considered a “Southern” state.
The first time I saw his state on the map, I was not convinced it was “South” but a bit closer to the middle. There were snowy winters in hubby’s childhood but recent years, the snow has been erratic.

Sounds a lot like my part of the woods in the US. MD & Virgina. We've had our fair share of Blizzards over the years and while MD is a split Northern/Southern state, Virginia is considered a Southern State. I actually remember snow drifts one winter that were as high as the bottom of the roofline in some areas.
