If it was me, I'd probably feel OK with getting it well-warmed up every few days, and go with more frequent oil changes. Maybe even go every 3,000 miles, perhaps with semi-synth.
Even though the winter would be the killer, a 2-mile commute in the summer would necessitate more frequent oil changes.
I don't know if an engine block heater would help, since your garage is already 50F. They probably have thermostats that shut-off below that.
