Hey man. Actually our winters in Vancouver are similar to seattle and are very mild and warm. It doesn't get near freezing or snow here ever, its actually pretty mild throughout the winters just a bunch of rain. It never gets anywhere as cold as CT. here, but other parts of canada can make CT look like Hawaii in the winter. Even with these mild winters, if I don't park my car over night in the garage, the 15W40 isn't quick to warm up and smooth it self out. COnsidering 15W40 is a mercedes canadian spec, it amazes me that other places in canada that are much colder must be using the same oil and surprised they havn't switched to the softer 10W40. I think mercedes is using the 15W40 oil just for longer intervals.
