The cold is hard on machinery, I guess one or two nights isn't going to get everything cold soaked. The transmission in neutral has everything turning inside it and does the better job of warming things up.

A spell of real cold is good for the repair shops, even in northern Minnesota where there are still people who feel as you do.
