> it's currently 13°F in Dallas right now, so not really sure the point of calling out specific cities. it's winter. it gets cold in winter. things have problems working correctly in that cold of winter.

Only in Texas do things have trouble working correctly when it gets down to 13F. Auto-spec parts are rated for -40C to +105C.

Generally in Minnesota the primary problem with (older) ICE vehicles where the battery is located toward the headlights instead of back toward the firewall is that a battery with low charge will have a cell or two freeze when it's kept outside on a -10F - 30F night facing into the northwest wind, then the engine doesn't start the following morning and the battery needs to be replaced. Very few vehicles have trouble in 13F weather, except maybe in Buffalo, NY when so much lake-effect snow falls that the vehicle can't even drive through it.
