In northern Colorado, where it was below zero for 40+ hours, I spent most of yesterday either getting or giving jump starts. I have two vehicles, and can usually start one with the other, but yesterday they were both dead. Turn the key and just get clicks. So a bunch of neighbours got together to help get everyone’s cars started.
I was worried about my utility car (its an old Lexus, 1998, super reliable... I’ll never get rid of it!)
But it started right up. Old Faithful, I call her.

-19 in Longmont. Subaru started but the Ranger wouldn’t. Charged up the battery but just clicks. It’s a tropical 30 degrees right now.
Are you up in Ft Collins or (worse) Greeley? If so, you live in a special kind of cold, second only to Laramie.
