My truck(Duramax) was sitting for a week and I was worried it wasn't going to start. Today it warmed up to -19C around noon, so I just went out and lit her up for 15mins.

Hope that helps you all feel better about your current locations weather.
Had a customer based in Cape Smyth, Alaska. They routinely saw -60 or lower most winters. They had to preheat their engines AND hydraulic systems just to start the aircraft.
