When flying in below freezing temps, consider carefully the need to follow the flight manual recommendations for possibly adding alcohol to deice the fuel. Avgas with ice crystals has put me on the ground twice (the second time, alcohol had been prohibited, I had that reversed!).

Winter is a magnificent time to fly, as cold as -15C just gets better. -40C is getting too cold...
