Unhappy cold-weather starting

Hello everyone,
The temperature around here has nosedived to ~-10degrees (C), and this morning my 86 300E really shook and shuddered for a few seconds before settling into a (somewhat rattly) idle. I would hate to subject the car to this abuse daily....
I'm currently running 10W30 Mobil1 and high quality fuel. I used 5W50 Mobil1 last winter, but burned a bit more oil than usual.
Any suggestions?
Regard,
Nick
