Low this morning, 14 F (-10 C).  High today 25 F (-4 C).  Forecast low
tomorrow morning 8 F (-13 C).  These temps are around 10 F colder than
usual for mid December, but are nowhere near records.  My '91 Campmobile
started and ran fine this morning.  Just checking, since the vehicle is
new to me.

In case you are wondering if it ever does get "too cold to snow," a
phrase I've heard all my life but doubted, check this:

I think in most localities, it seldom snows when winter temperatures are
near their extreme lows for that place, because such air is usually
extremely dry.
