You should really put a blockoff plate on your cooler in those conditions. Driving around on too-cold oil is bad for the engine, too, especially if you push it hard at those temps. I usually shoot for a 180 minimum before I ask the car to work very hard, and I don't think I'd be comfortable even on a low RPM highway cruise if I couldn't sustain at least 160. If you're off the bottom of the gauge who knows how cold it is really.
