There is something to be said for a heated garage The one upside of my kid totaling my truck and now driving a sedan is I have a vehicle that fits in the garage. It was a balmy -16 this morning, heard it's a bit chilly on the peninsula as well though nowhere near the interior chill.
As far as the bad things that can happen with cold. I remember a group I worked with on the slope that lost a few transmissions at -50. Turns out the seals shrank, fluid leaked out and auto transmissions don't live long when run dry.
