Default Cold weather mileage

We are seriously considering the purchase of a HiHY but really wanted feedaback for real MPG over short distances in cold weather. We live in Northern BC, Canada and the vehicle would be used for 5-10 mile trip city driving. Morning drive is expected to be below freezing for 5 months of the year. Temps below 0 F are routine through Dec-Feb. Does anyone have experience with a HH in these conditions, and what kind of mileage numbers did you see? Basically trying to decide buying a hybrid will yield much advantage. I know it won't make money, but am willing to make the investment if it decreases our family's carbon footprint. If the difference relative to the ICE version is going to be negligable, we'd get the standard model and put the difference towards something more environmentally beneficial.
