Say you store a vehicle outside all winter, if there was an usually cold week, say -20 degrees Fahrenheit for example, is it possible for the car to be colder than the -20 since it sat weeks prior to the -20 temps?

Maybe if a hot wind suddenly blew through. But generally those temperature changes are gradually and stuff outside wouldn’t have much lag time in matching the temperature. Certainly not over a course of weeks. If you parked your cold car in a cool garage sure. Otherwise no.
