No Need to 'Warm Up' Modern Vehicles in Cold Weather

Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/16/2019 - 7:53am

Dear Editor,
It is that time of the year when many motorists wonder if they need to let their vehicle “warm up” or idle before driving. In fact, today’s modern cars are ready to drive in cold temperatures without excessive idling. Unless you are trying to defrost the windshield or warm the interior of your car, idling longer than 30 seconds is unnecessary, even on the coldest days.

Dear Editor,
If you are the mother or father of a high school athlete here in Wisconsin, this message is primarily for you.
When you attend an athletic event that involves your son or daughter, cheer to your heart’s content, enjoy the camaraderie that high school sports offer and have fun. But when it comes to verbally criticizing game officials or coaches, cool it.
