This weather's nothing special compared to Minnesota, but we haven't had anything like this for a few years now and half the city is shut down as a consequence. I'm looking a snow drifts that are 18" deep or more... There's 8-12" on my Volvos. No way I'm going outside the house to check my battery voltage

Ken makes some good points. I'll try not to jump to conclusions about the root problem until I have more evidence.

What I do know is that the battery became discharged after sitting for a couple weeks. Putting the 10 amp charger on the car didn't help at all and gave me a number of really strange electrical problems and behaviors. Removing and charging the battery restored the car function completely - as though nothing was ever wrong with it.

I'll check again as soon as it's again fit for humans outside.
