Default Any tips on flying when cold and snowy

Going to a new years fly in. Gonna be in the 20s with snow,part of field getting plowed. I,m thinking hand warmers for jersey glove flying. Small torch to heat the heads of the engines a bit before firing.

Are plastic props safe when cold? (both planes have apc)
My buddy told me that the other day when flying off lake his prop just barely hit the ice and it broke it .just a little. He said it was like a brittle cold breaking?
Any thoughts ?
Prop was a apc

Whatever cheers
