That is an excellent plan. Except -35C is -31F, which is really, really cold, and a long way off from 31F. Perhaps you mean the 0-35 method?

I'll guarantee you won't find me outside anywhere close to -31, C or F.

I've been there, and may have some tools like those. I remember one time I was laying in the shop on the concrete floor, under a car, putting some underneath bits together and reached for a wrench and it burned my hand. Mind you this was in a building, under a car, out of the sun, the wrench burned my hand. It was only about 3:00 in the afternoon. That's when I knew it was too hot to work, and I packed up and went home for the day.

Actually - 40 is the same F or C and to be quite truthfull it's not as bad as anyone who hasn't been there may think . Most times it's incredibly calm and you can hear everything miles away . And for the enviromentalists that think you shouldn't wast energy warming your vehicle up , come on down and get in my truck after 2 minutes of idle time at - 40 .
