How cold is too cold though? I've lived in areas where the average winter temperature is 6F with temps as low as -30F during cold spells. On a K-series engine at around 6F ambient, the coolant still had a hard time reaching 170F with spirited driving. I did not have an oil temp sensor but I assume that the oil might've been around 150F to 160F at the best.
