I personally like to let them sit until its at least 45 or warmer..mainly just because I don't run a multi weight oil in a lot of them...but the big thing is to let them warm up long enough to burn the moisture out of the motor. I'll also charge the battery with a trickle if I can't do it at least that often.
just what I do..
