It would be wise to make sure it gets up to operating temp, with oil temps hot enough to boil away any water that has accumulated. Otherwise, all you're doing by starting it is contributing to the generation of more condensation and you're doing far more harm than good.

this^^ plus if you don't reach proper temps your exhaust will not dry out leaving moisture within it causing it to corrode even quicker

Yes Sir, I wait till it gets to operating temperature, I also change the position of the Car slightly, so its not sitting on the same part of the tires for the whole winter.
