I read an article in a Trucking Trade publication a number of years ago that was discussing the tricks and foibles of hauling refrigerated goods and produce to the far north communities in the winter time. If you have a load of produce, for example, you have a truck with a diesel powered refrigerator unit mounted on the front of the trailer. If the truck breaks down and can't run to keep the driver warm while he waits for repairs, the best place for him to go is inside his reefer trailer. When it gets seriously cold, the reefer unit actually becomes a heater, to keep the goods from freezing solid.

Because 35 or so degrees is a hell of a lot warmer than 40 below.

"It's so cold I used a bed of chilled iceberg lettuce to stay warm!"
