I have had this on other vehicles where a small amount of water has got into the starter motor. It behaves fine normally but when below zero the water freezes enough to stop the motor working. Some times a couple of turns of the key will free it but if it's really cold it will be solid. |

@GDM, you've hit the nail on the head there....mine has in the past had the 'click' and no start but then during the recent cold 'dry' snap i've had no problem starting..
