The winter of 1992-93 was shortly after a volcanic eruption. That may have been a contributing factor. I am not sure about the one back in the 1970s. In the 1970s it was so cold the harbors froze over. I remember some people, a whole lot crazier (more brave) than I, walk across the frozen New Haven, CT harbor on Long Island Sound. Yep, salt water!
Fortunately, with global warming comes reduced volcanic activity by the wellknown Gaia-feedback properties of <nope, I got nothin>.

Some days...? It doesn't have any importance. Put your batteries in the most convenient and safe place.
So if I put batteries in the garage, which is known to freeze, and still attached to the house, is there a best practice to (a) support warming the batteries so they can charge when the garage is below freezing, (b) protect the house from any possible mishap/fire the batteries might ever experience (I recognize this is unlikely, but still, any potential fire hazard in the house frame, I'd like to have a plan to mitigate) ? And yes, there are certainly places that have more cold than Wyoming, though we have our share, but even a few days (and it's probably more than that) when the batteries can't charge unless kept warm, seems like something I ought to manage. (If they were outside, it would be way more than a few days)
I wpuld put it 20+ feet from the house. Rent a small backhoe. Cinderblock walls. Concrete mixer to fill cinder blocks.
Wow! How would you build garage/charging point for your Tesla?
