We are driving down the road a bit for Thanksgiving dinner in the wife's car and I can't stand for it to be dirty when I drive it. I'm waiting for it to hit just above freezing before I get started b/c I don't want pipe freezing issues (can't even believe I'm saying this in SC in November).

This will likely be the coldest I've washed a car before. I think I've washed my motorcycle in 36 degree weather once.
Just wash it is methanol or sea water and you won't have to worry about the temperature (unless it gets really cold). If it does get super cold, you can wash your car with liquid ammonia or mercury (those have super low freezing temperatures).

Oh, and to answer your question, maybe 30° F or so.
