Default Engine Cover Question

So just out of curiousity....

I took my engine cover off per the advice I found here, and the fact that I like to see the SC.

But, living in the tundra, when winter temperatures can get below 0 regularly, would it be a good idea to put it back on for the colest part of winter? Just to keep those SC temps up a little more on those really cold days?

What do our canuck members do?

TIA

First sign of snow I put the cover back on providing it'* been below zero degrees on a constant week basis.. not some freak of nature 2 day freeze.

Cooler temps will only help your supercharger. The cover may help the engine heat up faster though if your worried about getting heat quicker.
