I've begun to notice this, too. I don't think there's a practical need for it here in SW Ohio.
I first observed this practice in Montana and North Dakota in the 50s when temps were well below zero and – IIRC – cars couldn't always be relied upon to start again in those conditions.
I hesitate to suggest it, but maybe this belongs in the "You know you're old when..." thread?
