It did not happen last year (that was the only real winter this car
has seen) but the temps were not as low AFAICR.

Well, during summer it starts the moment I turn the key. But I agree
that I should not worry as long as it starts. However, I am worrying
about the odd chance that it does not start and if there is any thing
I can do to avoid that situation. I try to remember to press the gas
pedal to floor before attempting to start every morning. And I try to
keep the fuel tank more than half full to keep the fuel line from
freezing. Are there any other things I should keep in mind?

Hopefully the temps will improve in the next few days and it will not
get any worse.
