Gasolines compounded for winter use tend to work better in cold weather than the stuff produced for the summer, but sometimes a little extra heat can help things get started alot sooner and easier. I've got an old hairdryer at the barn that I routinely park between the frame rail and the engine to blow warm air on the carb of my SM when I have to start it below zero.
