You should change to 0W40 as soon as possible. You will not have any starting issues with a good battery, and properly maintained car. In the extreme cold, start it, let it idle about 90 seconds, and then start driving to properly warm-up.
Don't let it sit and idle for 10 minutes (for example), to "warm-up".
Keep RPM's below 4,000 until full op temp is reached. Shifting will be stiff (manual tranny).
Check your tire pressures at those low-low temps too.
