Smart cars in this cold snap?

Is the heater up to snuff? Does the defroster work well? How does it do in
the deep snow, or road ruts?

Battery group size codes?
Just curious as to what the letters in a battery group size code means.
For example, for my van I see the following size:
- 75
- 75DT
- 75DTO
The van uses side terminals.
