Yes ... after living in Edmonton for 47 years I am kinda used to the winters (7 months of hell) , but I will agree that the cold (got my block heater cord fixed on the Yaris 2 weeks ago) and the snow is the worst we get. No chance for earthquakes and such but yes the very rare tornado may get us.

I don't know about my battery .. but the dealer tested it and said it was fine. I just hope that I get through the winter with it. Nothing worse than being stranded when it gets really cold. Btw .. -40C is the same as -40F .. about the coldest I remember being in around here. When it gets that cold... I usually don't go out. But that really doesn't help my Yaris too much.

DanMC doesn't, but you know I love Canada.....just not during the winter......unless it means skiing at Whistler!
