15W-50 inappropriate for Vancouver?

Since Vancouver sees minimum temperatures at or near freezing from November through March, I don't think 15W-50 would be appropriate for Simon's car. Sure, it'll flow, but not as quickly as a 5W- or 0W- would after a cold start.
Also, it's not an approved viscosity for the '02 9-5; I'd use it only in hot climates/extreme situations (for example, towing in FL, like Ian does)
