You guys crack me up, I worry about my engine getting too hot and then I think about how hot it gets where you are and then I don't worry about it any more! The rverse should be true as well, that is not that cold and our engines are not that fragile, of course the colder it is the thicker your oil is but just don't rev the hell out of it til it is up to temp and you will be fine. I remember an advertisement a long time ago, a VW Beetle was driving thriugh quite heavy snow, guy gets out and climbs into his snowplow and he says," How do ya think we get to work? " Beetles were pretty good in the snow, great if it had the optional gas heater, anyway just let her warm up a bit then take it easy til you feel heat coming.

Just let it warm up without a lot of revs or load. 30w pours just fine at 20 degrees F.
