See the TDS of known oil companies (example table of products sold in germany below) do state that the cold viscosity of i.E 10w60 (bottom of table) is even higher than 20w50:

Here the Motul 15w50 comes with 154 mm²/s at 40°C means same cold viscosity like most 20w50. And thats what Im only refering to: the cold viscosity in mm²/s which affects the flow speed of the fluid to reach important parts on cold starts as of the thread starter is talking about using it in NE areas.
I dont know which brands exactly do provide their 15w50 with such a high mm²/s vaue at cold temps, but at least someone should check.
