I was born and raised in Mpls...left there to go to grad school in TX.
One of the reasons I left was because it was TFC....too friendly cold.
Not unusual to see -40F in January....but that was a few years ago.
I wouldn't bother with a block heater unless you want quick warmup and cabin heat and are driving less than 10 miles to wherever you go. Your car should start easily, but the wear and tear with short driving and no synthetic will eventually wear out the engine faster than it needs to.
Whether or not you use a block heater, switch to synthetic oil in MN. You're in the home state, more or less, of Amsoil in Duluth/Superior.
