The hot air is hitting the bottom front of the engine, about where the oil settles, while the rear of the engine, directly beneath the carburetors is not cold to the touch, and, most importantly, the engine cranks up without choke. It also begins registering coolant temp within a block, as well as the engine-oil-bathed transmission shifts remarkably smoother. Although I do have an infrared thermometer, I haven't thought to check that point. I'll do that on my next ride.
