Cool. That all sounds predictable. This being my first real experience
owning a diesel in this climate, I was hoping that the silence upon turning
the key was not this engine's way of saying - I'm from the desert, it's 10
degrees out here - not part of my job description.

No, you missed something. That's to see if your neutral safety
switch or linkage is out of adjustment. If moving the linkage has no
effect then the wiring or starter is suspect. The connector at the
neutral switch could possibly be corroded. Clean that connection
before condemning the starter. It most likely is the starter though.
