There was a HUGE difference starting my car this week compared to any other winter period (even prior winters). It turned so slowly I thought it was a dead battery at first.

I couldn't believe the difference between -30 and -40. Car starts perfectly at -30 and it is very hard to start at -40. Ten degrees makes a world of difference, at least for my car.
