Also, 40 degrees in the rain? Shoooooot! How about 40 BELOW in the snow, son?!! It takes less than 4 minutes, you should be dressed for the weather regardless, and you shouldn't be smelling like gasoline...
OK Daddy. Lots of "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" there! I'll gladly leave the task to my careful gas jockeys while relaxing in climate controlled comfort, my cold weather survival gear (girlfriend) within reach.

And yes, I've spent considerable time in AK during all seasons including the middle of winter cold testing vehicles. You can keep your ice fog and block heaters.
