-30F north of MPLS one January - we couldn't trun the prop of the radial engine with two of us hanging on it. It took an hour of a big propane heater on the engine and the gasoline powered cabin heater running before we could turn it over - straight 50 wt. oil. Also a new battery - the old one was frozen solid - came out in pieces. Once we did get it started, I think it the shortest take-off run we ever made in the fully loaded Cessna 195. (N9598A if you want to look it up).
