'Tis the season indeed. I just put my full grille block back on. It's perfect for the 5 mile drive to work when I'm too lazy to bike, but too much for longer drives when it isn't super-cold out. I'm working on a configurable grille block with openings that can be covered with Velcro-clad squares.
Haven't busted out the block heater yet. I don't usually bother until temps are consistently below freezing, although I know it can help all year.
