We had our new 2006 CDI up in Yosemite, starting up first thing in the morning, the ambient temperature was about 27 F, she started just as fast as she does when it is in the 50s/60s outside (1 second glow). One odd thing though the way she starts is that she turns over once before firing (kind of like a gasser) which is unlike my 87 TD which fires on the very first crank. I wonder if this is normal for a CDI? Could it be because the newer CDIs have lower compression than the older designs?
