Get a block heater?

I hope my Camaro starts ok tomorrow, supposed to be a high of 4. Definitely going to let it idle for a few minutes before going anywhere, it is probably frozen solid right now.

It was like 6 degrees when I went to start my car before class this morning. It was barely turning over and when it did fire up it took a few seconds to find idle lol.

The block heater would help but really need a battery heater, lol!

Seen a lot of semi's on the side of the road today. Was reading -13 below around 1 today, not including the wind chill.
