    Winter is coming :-/
    What do you folks use to cover up the front grill and/or radiator?

    Access to cover up the front radiator with some kind of cardboard is not good, besides I'm not sure if covering the radiator with cardboard is a good idea as this might disrupt the cooling if needed.
    I think better option is to buy in local hardware store some material to seal just the lower and upper portion of the front air grill.
    (In Alberta we get -20C to -30C (-4F to -22F) on a regular basis).

    I found a piece of flat rubber about 6" x 30" at a Home Improvement store, not sure what it was for. Cut it to fit BEHIND the lower front grill and attached with zip ties, works fine, not as ugly as the pipe insulation put on the front. It might have been for a roof gutter or something like that.
