Will She Turn Over?

On Monday at 9:30 PM, I took my truck to the car wash just down the street. The temperature Monday evening was 12 degrees. I parked said truck on Monday, and haven’t started it up since. I didn’t unplug the batteries or do anything but turn off the engine.

What is the odds it will start with ease this morning, which is 8 degrees out, assuming I can get the doors open? This past week the maximum temperature has 21 degrees on Saturday. Working to my advantage is I have two isolated batteries under the hood, that should in theory put out 1,200 cold cranking amps out to an engine that requires roughly 500 amps to start.
