Probably. And the -70C? The world record lowest temp is only -89C
(Vostok, Antarctica) July 21, 1983. Carbon Dioxide freezes out at
-79C. Moscow is currently experiencing an unusually cold snap with
temp in the mid -30'sC.

Now I know they said we were going to have a cold winter but...

Methanol freezes at -98C, ethanol at -114C.

I'm pretty sure they are various strength alcohol solutions. Glycols
is what makes up radiator antifreeze not washer bottle stuff.

Don't think so, glycols (dual -OH) are more aggressive to the body paint.
They can be safely used within the sealed coolant circuit, though.
