We here in Western New York are going thru a very cold period for the next few
days.  Just like our Ontario neighbours across the Big Lake.

Since I do not have a block heater, I was wondering if anyone has put a heat
lamp into a spot-light fixture of some kind, and left it going all night pointed
at the oil pan.  You can buy the fixture for about $8.00 at Lowes, HomeDepot,
etc., and the lamp is around $4.00 or $5.00 each.  The down side is that the
lamp - a radiant heat lamp - is intended for indoor use, say, in a bathroom
heat/fan/light unit.  It seem possible to tuck under the bus, pointed up, to
keep the oil pan warm from the radiant heat this thing gives off.  'Course,
you'd have to take care to avoid the oil dripping from the pan, etc.

Just a thought...  Any comments?
