unsure of how I did it, but I did
I did not have the car towed last night. The truck wasn't going to get there until 12:45 am and I wasn't going to go out in the cold and come back by 2:00 am only to get up again at 5:30. So I left the car in the parking lot over night and called a cab to drive me to the station in the morning.
It was -22 this morning. I don't know what the windchill was but it cut deep into my body. It was very cold. The trains were running late but no one knew that. So we all filed out of the station and stood on the platform only to have an express train whip by at 60 mph blowing snow and even more cold air (was it possible?) through our bones.
Through a complicated series of events that are needless to describe, Heather ended up at the train station with a tow truck tonight at 5:00 or so. On the off chance the car would start, she tried it. And lo and behold, the car (eventually) started. No jump, no chicken's blood, no nothing. The tow truck driver said it smelled like I had flooded the car. If I had, I have no idea how I did it. Maybe, because I was wearing boots (which I almost never drive in), when I sat down in the car last night I hit the accelerator pedal? I don't know....but leave it to me to screw up starting a car.
Anyway, Heather was nice enough to hang out while my car warmed up and Nate got to sit in the drivers seat of the tow truck. Hooray for nice tow truck drivers. 
After she was satisfied the car wasn't going to up and quit again, she left and my train pulled in 15 minutes later. I had a (relatively speaking) warmed up car to drive home. Thank you, dear.
Tomorrow it's going to be 21 or 22 deg. F above zero. A 40 degree temperature shift in one day. Amazing.
