A second day of below-zero weather across North Dakota left many people calling for help today.

They were looking for assistance in getting frozen cars and trucks back on the road.

The situation led to lots of neighbors-helping-neighbors, and car repair shops operating at full bore.

Clayton Clark reports on a day of auto frustration...

(Clayton Clark, KX News) "What's worse than having to go to work when the temperature is 25 degrees below zero....Not being able to get to work when the temperature is 25 degrees below zero? Bitter cold temperatures can wreak havoc on your car, especially if you don't have a block heater. And that means more work for places like Harley's Auto Service."


(Harley's Worker) "50 plus. Defenitely busier but the cold weather makes it very difficult to get around and everything takes a while to get going just not so much busier but the weather is more difficult to work in."


(Clayton Clark, KX News) "With two consecutive days of extremely cold weather more and more people are being stranded at home without transportation. Harley himself went non-stop this morning from home to home helping people get started. And he says the biggest problem is people flooding their cars."


(Harley Schmidt, Harley's Auto Service) "Put a plug in it and just don't flood them out. They're turning the key without touching the gas pedal you got put the gas pedal down to keep the gas from flooding them out.""


(Clayton Clark, KX News) "Frigid temperatures can cause many different problems with your vehicle that can keep you from getting where you need to go."


(Landon Larson, Olson's Towing) "Cars won't start, jump starts. Everything happens when it's cold it seems like."


(Clayton Clark, KX News) "So next time you ask Tom how the weather is and he says (clip from last night) be sure to take extra special care of your car unless you want to be stranded out in the elements. In Minot, Clayton Clark, KX News." watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
