That is the standard result of a very rich mixture, which is necessary to start a very cold engine.
Are you gonna eat that?

Black is unburnt fuel. Not surprised or worried for a start in temps like that. You should be plugging the car in in those temperatures though.

I second the 'black is rich and OK' and 'block heater'.
The block heater is so important at that temp.. Simply must do it.
