I'm wondering if I could use a household electric blanket say in late April on chilly nights where it might drop below freezing, so I can use the car earlier than waiting until mid May which is normally when the last freeze is possible. I would wrap the top part of the engine (water jacket) and as much of the radiator as I could, to keep any areas warm enough.

If this is risky, I can of course wait until any freeze is passed.......but just wondering if this idea would work.

Hope everyone is safe and ready for summer,

An electric blanket? May work but you risk burning down your car, garage and house.
