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?

Anything with a high specific heat capacity like a body of water will generally not correspond to its ambient temp i.e. a pool remains really cold well into the spring and early summer.
