These below zero temps are just so far out of the usual range of operation that it's hard to troubleshoot.

Yes it's a bit of a mess to see what is actually wrong, especailly since it might just be... normal
I'll try to play with the climate control codes later on, but without too much hopes...
It's ok, I have to start the car at least 10 minutes before leaving anyway as the gearstick is the slushiest thing on earth by these temperatures anyway
