Yes, sounds like fun.  :)

Back when I drove my 80' Malibu, I remember several times getting off work
only to have it not start.  Most of the time it would not only be cold, but
raining too.  

Laying under the car in work cloths using a pipe to smack the starter was
loads of fun.  After the third time this happened, I decided to replace it in
the cold instead of waiting for a nice warm day.

Each year in the fall I try to do a routine check of the vehicles and just
take a look at everything.  I try to fix things before it gets cold.  The
problem is, most of the issues that crop up can't be detected by just looking.

If that was the case, I would have replaced the radiator in the Durango before
it failed causing the antifreeze to get into the transmission.  No warning
signs at all on that one.
