Subject:Aircooled and Cold Weather

I was just wondering if anyone has had experience in operating an
aircooled Vanagon/Westy in really frigid temps, like up around
Whitehorse, YT in the winter. Like it can get  minus 50F up there and I
am curious what it takes to operate at those temperatures. I drove a
Type II for several years in Alaska, but never encountered anything
colder than about -30F when driving. But I have seen it colder around
Whitehorse.

Just curious. The knowledge might help me in decisions about Aircooled
vs WaterCooled for a Westy.

Thanks,
