Thats just an average Winter day up here in the Northeast. It is for that reason that I don't drive my 8 during the Winter. My car stays nice and comfy under the car cover for 3-4 months.

Yeah, I guess our low of 12 yesterday (Philly area) beat this out. Even I can't complain, at least I don't live in Maine/VT/Mass, etc. Come to think of it, as cold as it's been, we still haven't seen a night at or below zero yet...
However, my VW (Jetta, 1.8t with mods, no Audi in my stable) goes outside, my Rx-8 inside, always. Especially if I expect weather like that. I'd have pushed that sucka into the driveway if I had to. But then again it's no TT I've got as a beater.
Whilst I don't use the cold as a reason not to drive the 8, she doesn't see the road while there's salt on it. Just a rule of mine. That's why I kept the Jetta, to do my dirty work.

the windchill hit -6, but the temp was 14 degrees. We went into rolling blackouts to preserve the power network from high demand. 15 Mins out of every hour I had no power. Makes it kind of annoying when its so cold outside too. But hey its only supposed to last till the end of next week.
