Thinking Winter. Are short trips as bad as they seem ?

Hi-
We live in Maine and bought a beautiful 2000 Aero (55k) from North Carolina. We had the valve cover off and did the coat hanger test in the oil pan. It seemed great. It also had Mobil 1 since new and the latest PCV kit. All and all a well maintained car with records.
The question: My wife has a very short commute around 2 miles in obviously cold weather. Can we get away with this if it gets fully warmed up every few days or should this be avoided like the plague? The car will be starting from a 50 degree garage in the morning.
Thank you for your help,
Mike
Mount Desert, Maine
