Do you need to start your car in subzero weather even if you don't need it?

I use to live in Minnesota, so I have experience with this situation. Starting a car in cold weather probably takes it toll on all moving parts because of lack of adequate lubrication while it is warming up. Unnecessary starts would help to avoid this. However, depending on where the car is parked, the longer it sits, the harder it will be to start. If it is not in a heated garage, the battery output will drop considerably if it has been exposed to 30 below weather for many hours. You will be lucky to get one turn of the engine in this case. The oil gets pretty thick too, which impedes engine cranking. Many people will use SAE #5 oil in the winter to help avoid this. Gas also will not volatize well in cold weather. Spraying starter fluid into the air intake can help this. Just be careful.
If you can wait until the weather warms up to start your car, it will be easier to start. In extreme cold, I used to start mine every 6 or 7 hours and leave it warm up. It would always start in the morning. Moving to California avoided all these problems.

What weather do mice most dislike?
I think they do not like rainy weather most, because it can flood their homes if their homes are not high. I know they dont like foggy or cold weather, but i think hot weather is not as bad for them even though they have fur. -Firepaw100
