Yep ;
Add the anti-gelling stuff and don't worry .
I'd try the two cycle thing as it really *should* light right off once you pay attention * discover it's " Sweet Spot " .
Once you allow it to cold stall and flood so it won't re start , you'll never do that again , trust me here .
You're doing fine and will soon be teaching other newbies how to get maximum motoring enjoyment out of minimum expense....
a 20 watt light bulb under the hood overnight helps a lot too , or add an inline coolant heater to the lower radiator hose , this ensures quick starts well below freezing and nearly instant hot air from the HVAC too .
