Frozen Motor, This is why i hate winter Options

[slow_yota]

First off its 31 before zero here [windchill]
So..went to go start my car started right up besides
some minor hesitiation and a bit of weird starting noises.
Let it run for 20 mins..thought it'd be super warm and toasty in the car.
Not at all, Its cold as it is outside almost.
I pop the hood and coolant lines are dead dead and filled with soild ice !
Should i let it run untill the engine warms up enough to thaw it out or what..
This is a new one for me. =[

Its in the garage right now with the heaters
on...Hope that helps a bit.

This; good sir; is why Santa Claws (in the same arctic temperature you're at) himself drives a sled powered by reindeer instead of an engine driven snowmobile/hovercraft-jet. Granted the sled was made by Toyota, but still... no engine.

My advice is to move. Otherwise i suppose a heating lamp would help, but you dont wanna run the engine w/o any circulation. I dont think it'd hurt too much, but i doubt it's a good idea... Garage or heating lamp. or both. Or move farther south
