   Supposedly it gets dangerous somewhere around -20c or -25c (-4/-13f)   
   so it will depend on how cold it gets there inside the cabin, and   
   it's not 100% guaranteed damage will occur, they just don't usually   
   cover any damage if it does.   
      
   Plus the damage can be just a scattering of dead pixels that   
   hardly show.
