I drove my Z to Fairfax VA one saturday in rain and 50 degree temps. Took the car nearly 40 minutes to get up to temp.
Someone installed oil pressure gauges and noted that oil pressures can skyrocket over 100 (or was it higher?) when the oil is not to temp (180-220) at WOT. Apparently, it caused a couple fittings to burst.

Water on the cooling element would very much increase its ability to cool. If the temperatures are in the teens, the air was probably rather dry, making it easier to heat up even in low temps.
