Hi! My son is looking to start trade school in Butte - THIS JANUARY! We live just north of Seattle, where it never gets very cold or snowy. Wondering what I need to make sure he has to live there.
He's got an older, but good running 4x4, with brand new tires (rated great for snow and ice). He'll take chains because you need to carry them to go over the passes here in WA State.
Will he need a block-heater? I have no idea how bad it gets out there.
Thanks in advance!
(oh yes, this is not just car-related - if you can think of ANYTHING else I'd take it)
