It is anywhere between -20 to 30 degrees in the winter. Needless to say it's f'ing cold out so I warm my car up completely. Having the car run for 15 min or so serves a few purposes. 1. The car is defrosted, 2. The cabin is warm 3. The electrical system gets to charge for a bit longer because cold weather sucks the life out the battery quicker. I really do live a mile from work too... Again, it's stupid cold so I'm not walking.  .... Edit: I take longer than 15 minutes to get ready in the morning. That's just the car's average warm up time.
