you're going to have more problems with your transaxel than motor starting. my cc fe290 motor ran fine in the winter, it was the trans oil that got to thick at temps below 30 degrees (i live in n. indiana). i have a friend in finland who runs dextron in his. he says it works great. i'm thinking about dumping the 90wt oil for something with a lower viscosity for winter........maybe 30 wt. i use mine for cutting wood, chores around my property, and trail running. with chains and knobby tires it gets around pretty good in the snow. my cart has not seen a golf coarse in the 8 years i've owned it.
