Did a gas line rupture/explosion in Northern Ontario years ago. Temp was -45C. My K1000 did the same, froze up quite quickly. I had two throw a way cameras in the glove box. They worked all day, and i was the only one who had a working camera. TCPL was happy.:-)They need to photograph the damages in cases like this.
