How likely is overheating going to happen during winter? With normal city/suburban driving and the car does not get to see the red line much either (I know I'm a bit of a pansy babying it, but it's a keeper for me and I would like to run into these problems as infrequently as possible, hence why this has come as sort of a surprise).

Oh, and with regards to overheating due to coolant loss, I literally noticed it, then pulled up as quick as I could, with oil and coolant temps both well within operating temperatures, temps were around 100 C for oil (212 F) and half way for coolant when the coolant hose gave way.
