When the battery was going in my car I knew it might be interesting
starting if it was cold but just a few degrees warmer there wasn't a
problem. Could almost use the ease, or not, of starting as a
thermometer. B-)

Rings a bell. I recall when I was young and penniless bump starting my
Mini every morning there was a frost. I was hoping it would last until
spring, and then I'd be all right all summer.

Then we had some snow. You can't bump start on snow
