How low can you go (20W-50 oil temps)?
Lookin at the chart, I can't decide wheather to use 20W-50 or 20W-40, cuz right now it's getting to be in the 20's and 30's at night, and 50+ in the day. Within a month it'll be summer weather and 80-90+ 
How safe does 20W-50 go down to (temperturewise)? I've heard nothing but good things about using 20W-50.
PS -- I am changing my oil this weekend.
PPS -- I am using Castrol GTX Oil and Purolator Pure One filter.

I'll second that. I use 20-50 year round. Gets down into the 20's here and about 80-85 in summer.
Proper warm-up, I believe, is essential, no matter what weight oil you use.
