I thought it was more like our Pacific Northwest (Seattle).
These old Chevys usually start real good down to about -20F (-30C) but do take a while for the carb to warm up enough to run smooth. They will start even colder than that but you need to drive them long enough to recharge the battery or else the next day or the day after they won't crank long enough.

Not THAT cold
Or at least not regularly..
Around -10C is common in January/February, -20C on a really cold day.
A few years back my '07 Seat (essentially a VW Golf in a sporty dress) began to suffer at -18.9C. It started without trouble, but all the fancy LCD displays just quit.
I do have a lot of shorter drives though, and cold starts below zero are just harder on the engine and fluids in general.
