low coolant and super cold out!

hi guys!
i've got a 1999 9-3 with 111K on it.
I've been driving around the Rockies (from warm Vancouver) in -40C (aka -33F) for the past week. I am a very proud Saab owner, one of the only cars around to start in this weather, and with no block heater... yay synthetic oil! Last night my SID read FILL COOLANT.
Okay...so, can I use any coolant (antifreeze)? Something from the gas station? I'm in a smaller town at the moment and its about a 1.5 hr drive into Calgary to get Saab stuff (and a Saab mechanic).
Also, is there a problem here or is it normal to have to fill this up in the winter? I've had the car 3 yrs and have never had to do this, but have never been in this cold weather with it. Should I be checking things or have some concern, or can I just fill up the reservoir and keep driving?
Any advice would be super helpful. Thanks!
Sands
