Straight (no mix, no additives) #2 will start to cloud at around 20*F

Yep, but in the winter time you likely won't find straight #2. In the northen third of the country and Canada you can get Straight #1 or even a #1 DF-A blend that's good to anywhere between -20 and -60. Down south we get #2 with an anti-gel additive, get's pretty dicey around 0, luckily that almost never happens.
