I completely agree! I have NEVER let my rigs warm up. I get high miles out of my rigs with no issues. Start engine, place in gear and drive moderately to start.

So do you clear your truck of snow then start it and take off? Or do you start then clear and drive off?

While working I mostly kept my rigs in a shop. But there were sometimes that I needed to remove snow and de ice. That only took seconds to do as I would have a gallon pail full of very warm water to throw across the window and had a push broom to quickly remove the snow.

Here is a oil report with 15K on the oil that I start and go with. Understand the Universal averages are from engines that drained the oil at MUCH lower mileage with the same engine.
