The old operator's manual on my H says, below +32F, 10W. I use 15W40 year-round and thus for my much-milder-than-yours winters. I'd strongly urge getting some sort of block heater. I saw a quote somewhere that offered that 80% of wear on an engine that's operated in winter climes happens with the cold-weather starts. With that in mind, even though I've never had an ounce of trouble starting my H in temps near zero, I installed a tank heater last winter. I'd turn it on for a couple of hours (1500W!) before each start and all the starts were just like summer.
