Sometimes yes sometimes no. The wind chill was -28c yesterday morning and I was parked into the wind.A can of nuts and bolts is what I heard on start up.I have moved the family to Stewart BC and am working down here,so the runs back and forth can bring some nasty cold as well.

Mine runs fine in the cold, but I use only Shell Diesel, put in Diesel Kleen, and a quart tranny fluid per "FULL" fill up. Plus it's garaged. I have the snap on front "blanket" but haven't used it yet.

Just down the road from you in Sheboygan.
