I've worked under cars in sub-zero temperatures. It's not so bad if you're dressed for it and it's dry, but if you're crawling around under a car in snow, the snow invariably gets between you and your jacket. That is really unpleasant.

I changed the oil in my daily drivers last weekend while the temp was above freezing. As Pat said, a car dripping on you is not all that fun either.

Typically how it goes. Honestly I'd rather see a bolt break at the exhaust than anywhere else on these engines.
