5) Remove battery, bring inside, attach a small trickle charger.

I'm in Minnesota, where it actually gets COLDER than most of the populated areas of AK.

**Do you want to run your car all of the next year on oil that's been sitting for 6 months in subzero temps? Or do you want to start the year on fresh oil?
