We are in Fairbanks now where it gets down to 40 or more below in the winter. You can tell if a car belongs to a full time Alaskan or is a rental by looking at the radiator grill. If there is a cord hanging out, they are almost certainly here in the winter where you have to plug in your car. According to Bill, the cord connects to a heater in the oil sump to keep it warm.
Here in Fairbanks we saw electrical outlets on poles in parking lots and could not figure out what they were for. Then, it dawned on us that they are to plug your car in when you are at work!
This photo was taken at the University of Alaska/Fairbanks. Each pole has 4 electrical outlets on it.
Life is different up here!!
