Believe me dude - I've been there....we used to do alot of overnights in ALB in the Dash - even when we did have an operating APU I froze my ass off just getting it going. It gets cold up there.

oh yeah? Try the exact opposite. Try going to a heat soaked airplane in Palm Springs that has been sitting there for an hour in 125 degree temperature with no air cart hooked up. You will look like you just took a shower walking from the crew lounge to the airplane. Then getting inside and waiting for it to cool down is another story. AHhhhhhhh! Summer is only 4 months away in Palm Springs time.

Yesterday morning we had a 5:30am van, and it was 3 degrees F! Wow, cold! You should have seen the oil pressure on both engines during the start.
 
Yeah it was M11C(too lazy to convert it to F but I know it was freakin' cold) this morning in ELM - it's been a long time since I've seen the oil pressure stay yellow for that long.
