Default Cold weather starting.

On cold days my Colorado hangar is 10-15 degrees F warmer than outside.
It helps, but right now its 10 degrees outside (9 am). One of our
coldest days. It only gets this way a few days a winter. But you gotta
heat it somehow before you start it.

BTW, Lycoming says idle at 1000 rpm immedately to get oil flow at cold
temps.
