Whenever there is a cold snap in the southern US like this it always reminds me of this project I was working on. Our client was bidding out construction for these big tanks that were going to get built in the winter in northern alberta. The winner was this company out of Florida who were trying to branch into the Canadian market. They showed up with their equipment and someone (with the client) was like you can get your winter diesel over there. The contractor asked, what's winter diesel? Needless to say most of their guys had never seen snow, had actual acceptable levels of warm clothes and all of the lines on their equipment froze because they had the wrong fluids in them. I don't think I've ever seen them up here again.
It's also kinda funny when you have to explain what a block heater is.
