RE: How cold is too cold?
My former club used to fly every January 1st no matter what, and at least one January or February "Chili Fly" with hot chili provided. 0ºF is pretty cold, -10ºF is very cold, but the glow engines did fine. The Monokote occasionally burst like a drum-head on a hard landing, and the batteries don't have the juice they do in balmy 45ºF weather, but the engines run fine.
