Does Minnesota count?
I used Valvoline Durablend in the past - techinically a blend, but really an all dino conventional oil. No issues starting down to -30 F. CCS (Cold Crank Simulator) numbersis currently 5700.
The best of the dino oils lately in cold crank seems to be Pennzoil - the 5w30 CCS is 5800 based on information from technical staff. Best I've seen out of a dino 5w30.

10W30 summer 5W30 winter. Cheapest name brand available at time of purchase.
I stay away from grocery store brands. Don't buy bread at Service station......
Change it every 5000km, 3100miles.

PS forgot to mention I will use a synthetic, same viscosity if I am going off road during an oil change interval.
