I think what Richard means is not to just idle, but to put it on high idle, if you have that option. I just hold the accelerator at 2000 rpms and wait for the temp to come up to 180...takes a few minutes, but if you have high idle, then you don't have to sit there with your foot on the pedal. It will probably not come up to temp at low idle, and the lack of proper lubrication will not be good for the long term life of your engine. I like Steven's recommendation, and I plan to follow it religiously....head for the desert, or warmer climes in the winter, if possible.
