Pretty much a thing of the past with modern diesels, like stated above, fuels are anti-gel these days based on where they are sold, but are good to -20C or more in a lot of places, they have arctic blends that go to -40C even. The engines themselves all have pre-heating and tight tolerances and start even at crazy low temperatures unlike the old days.

Northern Europe has been running a high percentage a diesel vehicles for decades without issues - cold weather and diesel starting issues are a thing of the past.
