During the winter (which this year seems to be hitting the whole country) I often
see cars and trucks with their grilles covered by something, frequently cardboard.
I've thought about the potential reasons for this, and the only thing I've been
able to come up with is to decrease warmup time and increase operating temperature
(and thus heater effectiveness). Seems to me that it might lead to overheating
on "normal" days (~30F). Any opinions?
