It was a toasty 20deg down there so I could have done without the engine cover but it's much better to keep the engine warm. If it's really cold, like -40F I'll put a space blanket under the engine cover and if I have room to take it along, a packing blanket over it. If I'm somewhere remote for an over night I drain the oil into metal cans and heat it up on the wood stove before starting.
