Cold weather freeze up?

Hey everyone, I don't know much about mechanics so I'm in need of some help or advice. It's -15 celsius up here in Fernie canada and My 86 escort seems to have siezed up! I tested the antifeeze a week ago and it's fine. The starter gives a quick repetitive clicking noice but nothing turns over. I'm waiting for a jump but I'm not sure thats the proble. it's a new battery and there seems to be lot's of power. Any advice for a mechanically-disabled rookie?
