Arctic blast killed my GS

[Alan_nc]

Time wise you might as well walk to work or school ..... if you are going to drain/heat/refill the oil

light a fire under it... its a freaking GS500. do you really think you could kill it with fire? 

Yes, yes you can.

Not saying I would try it, but I've heard that Alaskan bush pilots would drain their aircrafts' oil, heat it up over a camp stove, and pour it back in.

Could (not should) probably be done easily with a GS, especially without fairings. For those extra brisk mornings!

Oh man, imagine the consequence of a mishap - flame your pot o' oil and you're stranded - I guess your stranded anyway if you can't start your plane though!

Man, I can only imagine what it must be like to live in a place where 32F is considered an arctic blast. That's mild! I hope you never have to experience sub-zero weather!

Well, if it was much warmer the day before, then I guess most any temp could be considered one.
Or am I wrong?

It's central Texas, so 32F is unusually cold. It got that cold because a burst of cold weather came down from the Arctic Circle...
I used to live up North-East, I don't miss the cold!

It was 76 the day before, no more...
