Supper cold weather?

How does one function in -15 or -30 weather?  Do you plug your car batteries into something so they will start in the morning?  Put them in a heated garage?  How does a body go off to work in the morning?  Or does everything just grind to a halt until the cold wave warms up to something like 5?
I am trying to figure out how to do our shop hop here and keep DH and GF happy at the same time.   We drove up to Amelia Island yesterday with our visitors, and found that the county is installing miles of new bike trails.  DH wants to go back on Sat. to try them out.
Will keep you posted on what happens next.

I grew up in Iowa. Yes, my mother plugged the engine of her car into the house electric for 30 min or so to get it to start on very cold days. Semi-trucks let the engine idle all night when they're stopped at a hotel; they say the gas is cheaper than a dead truck.
I never did get my license, so I was the passenger, and the one told off to scrape the windshield or windows.
