Hmmm. I live here. If your battery is in good condition (get it checked) then it will be fine.

Any vehicle, no matter what condition will risk not starting below about -25c (known in old system Fahrenheit as -13F). Block heaters are great, but I have started many a vehicle, many a time at -30c or lower and while not a joy, it is generally OK in a well maintained, fuel injected vehicle. Old carburetors were a challenge....especially SU's.

To be honest, the critical items are just good maintenance and if you can, switch to synthetic oil. The pour points of Mobil 1 are a lot lower and make a big difference.

I have tried them all, battery blankets, block heaters and so forth....all of them help somewhat, but never brought a battery inside with me...ever.
