I think you would see a puddle of fresh oil on the top of the engine next to the thermostat. I think you blew a hole in the oil cooler. Classic symptoms, cold weather, cold oil, startup pressure, thermostat stuck open (it's California, right? so it's usually open). I would take some more photos, clean everything, start the engine and start looking for leaks. Some dye added to the oil will leave a trace that can be examined with a UV lamp, search here for details.
Good luck! At least you didn't lose all the oil!
