15 miles at 29F??

You will not see the needle move.

EDIT: During the snow days that DFW had, my trans never went above 100* during 20 miles in stop and go traffic. Took 1.5hours to get home. Doing some testing on a 35F day awhile back, I hit 120* after 10-15 boosted launches and 100+ mph runs over 8 miles.
