Cold weather ops is not like flying a shuttle mission or something. Coordinate with ops, taxi to the pad, follow the checklist to configure, write down the pertinants when given, finish the de-ice checklist, taxi out, check holdover time, and launch if you haven't exceeded or do a pre-takeoff contamination check if permitted.
