A half hour in a semi heated garage will help warm it up some.
Edit: I should probably mention that it is in a semi-heated garage, so it's not like I'll be doing it at -30, more like 35-40.

You can try it. I wouldn't expect it to work really well or the battery to last very long unless it was put on a charger over night and fully charged every day it's used.
If it's in a heated garage why not use grid power for the block heater?
A 600 watt block heater is going to use about 5 cents worth of power every hour it's on.
It really sounds like you need a warm air intake.
You likely never heard of it before because it's strictly a fuel economy thing.
No self respecting ricers would ever do such a thing because it might cost them 2hp at wide open throttle.
