This is not surprising in view of the cool breezes we've been having where I live (rochester, n.y.). My questions are; aside from your battery dying what else tends to go on a car in this sort of climatic extravaganza and, if my battery was being boosted and yet the car refused to start, what are the most likely reasons for this;(I've heard two possibilities; a) that my carb is not adjusted properly for this kind of weather and b) that you have to have the right kind of oil or it sludges up and keeps your motor from running; I might point out that I did put dry gas in my tank, so it's unlikely that my gas line froze.
