It may just be "that cold" if the block heater is helping that much.
I notice there's an extra couple of cranks at least when starting our Focus at -20C with no block heater vs. -25C and below with the block heater on.
Actually, it's a little more disparate than that. With the heater on all night, it fires up almost instantly. There's a definite crank period with the car sitting cold all night.
