I don't run nitro but at those temps I wouldn't be outside either way! Brrrrrrrr! 
Hope someone with a proper answer can help you out.

I am in Waterloo, ON, but lived in Ottawa before, I usually start in my garage and run slowly for a couple of laps. Sometimes I keep the glow starter on for a little while longer.

Oooooo -15 stay inside. To dam cold hahaha.
You ckuld use a piece of tin foil wrapped around the cooling head. To help keep engine warm. I used to do that when I ran my nitros in the winter. The nitros really don't like temps below 40°-50°. The fuel really won't like that low of temp either..

Once the engine warmed up a bit, it will run fine, you may just have to lean it a bit, but not too much. Nitro runs fine in cold and snow, no issue for me.
