Overheating in 11 degree weather

This morning, I let my car warm up for about 20 minutes (because it was 11 degrees) and when I left for work I didn't even make it a block before my car started overheating! Does anyone know what this could be?

Your thermostat has failed and is stuck in the closed position, thereby not letting the coolant circulate through the radiator.

After warming engine during sub degree weather,I drive 4blocks and dash gauges flicker off then back on, and engines dies and cannot be restarted with battery boost.

check your door controls, they are known to short out. When you try to boost it after it has died, have you disconnected the battery for a few minutes first? Had this problem with an 02 envoy when the temp dropped below -20

My 1996 jeep grand cherokee is blowing cold air for the first 30 minutes of my ride home (20-degree weather), then warms up slightly but never gets hot -- i'm guessing heater core (it has 200k+ miles)

It is most likely a thermostat. As your car gets older the thermostat begins to lose its spring like properties and stays open all the time causing your car to never warm up.

If you can't tackle right away, start your car in the morning and let it run for about 15 minutes to warm up. Be sure to turn the heat on full blast and recirculate the air.

Cold weather won't idle, engine dies

Please check your idle controller whch is normally located near the air intake.Sometimes cleaning them and putting them back solve this problem.
