Check the hoses to see if they are frozen

If they are the best way I have found is to bit a fan heater in the engine bay but make sure it wont get wet and go bang.

Only other way I can think if you cant do that is dissconnect your hoses and pour hot water everywhere you can

minus 6 shouldn't be a problem if you've got antifreeze in it. How do you know the battery's ok? Most likely the cold has dulled an already tired batery.

Dodgy starter / solanoid?

if the battery is flat you should get the lights dimming (a lot) if the starter is kicking in - will also do the same if the engine is seized solid as there will be a huge current draw........
