Supposedly, a fully charged car battery will not freeze until about -75 F. However a fully discharged batter can freeze at below +32F. That is why it is important to make sure both batteries remain charged over the winter, or move to Florida - like me - where it never freezes. Both your batteries need to be disconnected and tested and/or recharged periodically. In addition, while your house battery is probably a deep discharge battery and can be discharged below 11.8 v multiple times before it is ruined, the starting battery is not. Deep discharge that starting battery 10-12 times and you probably will be purchasing a new one.
