I have only seen it happen in testing events done in upper USA (M-M-M-M-Minot) and Canada, and then only when the ambient weather conditions were "just right."
FYI, the heater runs off the generator's power, and consumes next to nothing. The heater is optional on all USA-spec/sold models, but I recall they are standard with Canadian-spec models.

That is interesting. I didn't know exactly what the CCT was but thought for this location it couldn't be a bad thing.
Thanks!
