When it's -40 F, I start the Honda, brush off the snow, and drive gently
to the road, then to the secondary highway, then to the main highway.
It's about three minutes to the main highway, and the heater is getting
toasty and the guage is at the normal position.

Make sure you don't put any tap water (Hondacide) in your Honda when you
change the thermostat, and check the reservoir the day after you get the
thermostat replaced.
