Default -22 below out and Neon Still Starts! Amazing!

Today its so cold out that if I breath on my car it instantly turns to ice, wellI got in this morning and just touching my door handle my hand wanted to freeze to it, I got in and the starter just grunted like a Mule overloaded with Mexicans and it on the first try the Car started!. Very Suprised seeing last year it was -10 and I flooded it. Well I let it warm up for 18 minutes and when I got in the carthe needle didn't even move from the C position!, took10 minutes of driving before it moved up to operating temperature, yeah it was that cold out!. Now it warmed up to a toasty Minus 9 Degrees farenheight.

Nothings wrong with the car, just illistrating how cold it is! anybody elsehave a cold horror story?

last year my green 95' Neon with at the time had around 245k on it, the fuel pump went out on it a few days before Christmas and the car sat for about a month. and then a big snow storm came and my car was literally buried in about a 3 feet of snow from back to front. i finally was going to go start it to move it into the garage. took me half an hour to dig it out...and about 3 seconds to start it up. i was surprised that it started right up considering how long it sat, and how many miles were on it.

i got in my car and started it up....had a few problems with it not getting warm enough..i suppose everything was frozen.....anyways,
i had my drivers side window about half way down and when i got out and closed the door, the window shattered....there wasnt much of a mess since the window had tint on it so it all stayed together.....so here i am at 8 am siting in my driveway putting a new window in my car.....im so glad i have extra parts
