I know this is not a record, but still it is the coldest I can prove in the Stilo. So far. These two pictures are not from the same day. Only the cluster picture is from today.

How's the brass monkey? Still got his balls?
bloody hell. think you need to invest in a car cover mate. no chance of going to work with the car like that. think you will have to get in through the boot lol
Was wierd at the weekend... freezing rain, but no frost. The Chicken just had a strange thick layer of ice all over it. And teeth! Started first time though...

Just heard on the radio this morning, in Tirol, Austria, lowest temperature recorded today was -29.8°C. 
Makes me glad it is only -12° here. Even then my car would not start at 03h30 this AM, called work, holiday today and bought a new battery.

Last night in northern Finland it was - 42.5. Luckily, here in southwest it was only around -8. Last week it was about -20 to -25. A bit cranky to start if i did not use the engine heater (Indoor heater is nice to have too). Door locks dont work very well below -5, and electric windows are stuck (but why would i want to open them?).

well i use a car cover and it works like a treat.
also it has the pull cords on the bottom so you can pull it tight and jobs a good one.
snow, ice, frost nothing gets through. £30 from argos. well worth is. plus saves getting up earlier to de frost the car and all that trouble of trying to open the doors.

What do you do with the cover when you remove it and its front / snow covered and wet out of interest?
well as soon as you pull the car cover off, as in pulling it from the back over the car to the front so all the snow and ice have fallen on the car. or the other way.
then just give it a shake and put it in a carrier bag and in the boot. or just hang it up in the shed.
there is no smell of damp at all in the boot, trust me i have been doin this for a while now, well untill 2 christmases ago when we had the really bad snow literally before christmas.
there was loads of snow and ice and i had so much work to do just to get into the car and it done my head in big time. so i bought a car cover just to try it out, but i did think that it would not work as in the doors would still freeze.
but the opposite happened, bloody brilliant. 4 inches of snow over the car in the morning, pulled the cover off the car and the snow fell to the side and the door opened first time. no ice or anything on the windows.
best thing i bought for the car. no bull sh*t

Car cover keeps the windows open but does not help with frozen locks. Electric heater is much better but at your latitude you may not have an electric socket at your parking place. Here is a clip from last winter, maybe it will give you some assurance that things could be worse...
