Same thing happened again this morning. -36 C... ICK. I did try jump-starting the battery using another vehicle to no avail. So I guess I'll assume that the little hamster living in my starter doesn't get out of bed in sub-zero temps. My Block heater seems to "hum" when I pug her in. I did charge up my battery last night to a 12.6 V.
With that being said, is there anyway I could possibly overcome this cold enough for the engine to turn over?

Friends suggested a solar battery "trickle charger" along with a heated battery blankey that I could plug in to overnight.

If I were to replace the starter; would all my be well?

Thanks again for all your help and patience guys. I am a new member and I have got to say that I really appreciate and value the expertise. Just a shame that I'm not all that mechanically inclined... either way, you at least give me an idea as to what I'm dealing with! Thanks all!
