booooo.

The coldest weather I've ever experienced was minus 35F. It was either 1994 or 1995 in New Whiteland, Indiana, I was in highschool, and I went outside just to see if my slant-six engine 1978 Plymouth Volare, running off of a mainframe computer battery, would start. It did on the first try. No one else's car would start.
