A heating coil in water jacket of engine, battery blanket with heating coil plugged in all night. Unless you want to park till spring.

I presume Barrow has water and sewers. How in the world do they protect water lines?

Water lines are protected by burying them 4 foot deep, insulating them and putting a heat tape cord in the pipe or between the pipe and the insulation to inject around 5 watts a foot. Other wise your sewer freezes in the dead of winter.
