-20 and the old Bonnie doesn't even wanna think about starting. Tried jumping, nothing. I guess I really can't blame her- it is BRUTAL out there. BTW, batteries 5 years old, so guess I am gonna be getting a new one this week. Oh, and a block heater.

In Upstate NY, we are currently at 13F. Almost cold enough for cold weather training at FT Drum.

At -20 the batteries is probably froze if it'* discharged. In that scenario I would always check to see if it is indeed froze first. Never try to jump a frozen battery. It can damage the running car.
It'* 7 degrees here in PA @ 1700 feet. Going to be a nippy one tonight. I may let my geese in. ....."Honeeeeeey!, get the Pampers out!"

BTW, Dipstick heaters are easy and great for cars in those temps. I used to use one with my older LeSabre. Vroooom, every morning.
