Would that mess up those cars or do you think that once the ice melts off they would be in perfect shape? I would be so afraid of that happening to my car if I lived there. Good thing I don't, lol.
i think the question is, how do you even get into your car when its like that
you wouldnt even be able to drive on the road if you did get it started, plus the risk of your tires popping from the extreme coldness

Freezing rain doesn't happen when it's extremely cold, it happens when the air above is just warm enough to be rain, and the air below just cold enough to be ice. The raindrop becomes supercooled (goes below the temperature required to change it from water to ice, but not having undergone state change yet) during its descent and then freezes on contact.
That doesn't mean it can't get bitter cold afterwards of course, but when it's doing the ice rain it's typically not that cold at all on the ground... between -3C and -7C is common.
Ice fog, on the other hand, can and often does happen in extremely cold temperatures as a result of the air having a difficult time holding on to moisture when it gets so cold. Ice fog can be *deadly*. Here's a picture of a place in Whitehorse in the middle of an ice fog... at -42C. Hope the guy taking this pic weatherized his camera for the extremes. At that temperature, your eyes can literally freeze shut when you blink, from the flash-freezing of tears holding your eyelashes together.
my mother and brother went through the ice storm a few yrs back and the damage to the trees etc was terrible!
just glad they had a wood stove and generator, they were without water/power for 16 days and became host to some neighbours that didnt have heat sources etc like they did.
I'm amazed that people live like that... If it drops below 60° F here, I'm freezing.
