If you can get a jump, your car will start. Older batteries lose their cold cranking amps and as such become old, cranky, amps instead. When you have some extra dough buy a battery with lots of CCA.

And guess what? My car just started, and I have water to the bathroom sink and tub again! Not the kitchen yet, but I'm not surprised about that.

Yay! Time for a hot bath and a trip into town! I mean, it's 11 degrees! Party time!
footfootfoot's right, that will help keep the pipes unfrozen. So will letting a little water running through the tap/spigot/etc. It costs you some water, true, but it's another option for you. At first I thought you had frozen and burst pipes, that's a much bigger disaster. Anyhow, I'm glad it's working now. Turn on the water, just a little, and let them flow.

Yeah, just lift your shirt, and if that don't work, jump and down a little bit.
