block heaters are great in the frigid locales... but be sure your valves are adjusted, and the motor oil is of good quality... M1 or even Rotella 5W40 SemiSyn... verify your Glow plugs are working and use them the FULL 45 seconds, if not hitting them off and going an additional 45 seconds. (listen for the click off, then cycle the ignition switch)
when it's windy and frigid, you may want to consider a remote starter installation but don't plan on letting it idle up to operating temp, it's bad for the car.
