I was thinking that the viscosity just represented another restriction to flow. So a room temperature pressure drop vs flow rate curve would still be relevant as long as it hit the range of pressure. If that isn't the case, wouldn't there be an eqn where I could take a room temp curve and come up with predicted curves as a function of temp?

Probably could get predictions, but would possibly come up with something like this:

From previous post http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...?threadid=6347 ,linked to in post http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...5&pagenumber=5.

These changes appears to adequately descibe behavior down to Temps a couple of Degrees above 0c.,but do not account for behaviour bellow.
