My experience has been that diesels are fine until the temp gets below zero.

Yes. We had a diesel car for a while when we were living in the
'burbs NE of NYC. There was a cold snap on Christmas morning sometime
in the early '80s, with the temperature about 5 below. We were headed
for Connecticut and got about a mile from the house before it died
from congealed fuel, only time we ever had a problem. It started up
fine later that day after the weather had warmed up.
