I disagree. When its cold enough the temp increase will not be enough to get it hot enough. I don't know what that temp is but I can assure you at sub 30 degrees 10-15 minutes is not long enough if at any time is long enough. Even been out for over an hour at highway speeds at 34 degrees and I promise they were hockey pucks.
