Saranac Lake, NY is, as often as not, the coldest town in the continental U.S. and sometimes including Alaska( they do keep track of this on the morning news that I watch). The record is from Northern Maine, -55F. We do get a little chilly here in New England.

Another vote for coolant heater first, oil pan heater second. I remember reading about the dipstick type heaters not being recommended when they first came out, but not sure what the exact reasoning was.
