Hi F-18
I flew year round when I lived in north western Pennsylvania, so I know cold. Keep your glow driver in a warm pocket. Use a new glow plug. Use an electric starter. Once the engine is primed, add a squirt or two of lighter fluid to the carburetor and start the engine with the electric starter.
