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.
