valve clearance check in cold weather

so i live in the frozen tundra and it wont be getting to the temperature that's ideal for doing a valve job ie the valves should read a larger clearance on the feeler gauges. so is there a way to compensate this? i am working in a un heated garage, but i was thinking of turning on the propane heater when i get a 50 degree day. i have a carbon monoxide detector ready and will have the garage door only half closed (to keep some of the heat in). any suggestions or thoughts?

i want to get this thing ready by when the snow clears and we have our first big rain!
