you shouldnt have any problem...I live in Edmonton AB and leave mine outside all the time. My Block Heater Cord is actually still nicely wrapped up inside my engine bay. So as an answer to your Question. you wont have any problems. If you wanna do something drop a bottle of gas line anti freeze in the tank when you get here.

You just have to make sure that your coolant mix is appropriate for that level of cold. Test the coolant and adjust accordingly.

A block heater will make it easier to start, but being a modern fuel injected engine, that is not too much of a problem.
