What's the not so obvious stuff you worry about when flying in very low temperatures

[Timstertimster]

So you checked your liquids and the airframe and propeller are perfectly clean. And it's minus 10 degrees as you're getting ready to go, with a nice brisk 10 knot wind...

I was wondering if anyone would care to share some not too obvious concerns and issues you faced when flying a plane in below freezing temperatures? Sure there is carburetor and so on, but maybe you're liquid cooled and fuel injected...

Here is a newbie wanting to learn what's not "in the book"... and I suspect there are folks on this site who've been flying north of Wisconsin and south of zero degrees...
