Severe vibration at idle in the cold weather...
Even once the engine is up to operating temperature the whole car vibrates like a ******* *****.
I turned off all the electronics at idle and I still have the vibration...the outside temperature is currently around 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This sounds like a possibility.
It seemed to be worse with more electronics on. I turned off all of the electronics except the lights and it was still pretty nasty. I even keep mine in the garage so it is at least 20+ degrees warmer than outside temp.
The way I see it...if it vibrates me seat enough to be felt, it's severe...

I get some vibration. Do you have a vacuum gauge on the car? If so does it bounce a lot at idle(not touching throttle)? If this is the case you are missfiring. Mine has missfired a little bit usualy when warming up.
