  If you run it late in the day I'm sure the engine compartment will stay warm over night. But if you don't want to take a chance and you think there is more cold weather ahead I would wait.

  After that little cold overnight the weather should be over the freezing point. So aero and Al thank you very much for the Infos. I will go head tomorrow and start the engines

  Just put a bit of water in a cup and set it in the engine compartment - you'll see that you need it to be below freezing for an extended period of time before you'd have to worry about water in an engine freezing.

  Could ways put a light in the compartment. Keeps it somewhat warm. I have done that in the past
