I'm accustomed to running with a water belt as I always have. It would be odd for me to run without one. I ran numerous sub 37 minute 10K's in my younger days with my belt on, it does not hinder performance.
I disagree - I hate running with it (but do on hot days if I'm going more than 20k). I also can't overdo the water intake because it gives me a side stitch (which I'm still working at a solution for - may have found one).

You can also stash a water bottle somewhere on your route before hand.

But definitely the long runs are big. No reason you need water for 5-15k though. Especially in -30?
