How well does this last in the cold, say 30 degrees?

I'm sorry - I can't help you. I live in Florida. I do like it though. I am using it as a water source for my beehive.

I live in Wisconsin. I have used 2 of these for my chickens. The plastic does just fine in Winter; however, I did drop one while it had ice in it, and one of the plastic sections of the "food side" broke off. It still works just fine. So yes - as long as you don't do anything too crazy with it, it will hold up to freezing temperatures.

I have not used in freezing temperatures. Heated waterer is best, they have one similar to this. This is the best waterer for regular use.

I slept in it @ 12 with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24 and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10 under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40 outside, buy a 30 bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

It worked in 30F weather today. The only reason it wouldn't work in really cold weather would be if the battery freezes.

I have not used it in the cold only in the hot simmer but they did last most of the day as long as I did not continuously go back and look at pictures or play with the settings.

I don't remember the last time I used this for cold, but the thermal part works, so it would help. It's pretty small, overall, so I could count on it for a short time, but nothing too long.

Mine is outdoors and has been out there for 2 months. I put it out AFTER it warmed up to about 40 degrees at night outside: I don't know how much icy cold it can deal with.

Haven't tried it in the REALLY cold weather. Didn't seem to fog at 25-30 degrees.

It stays pretty cold. If you are worried at all, I would put in one or two small ice packs just for extra chilling.

We got to +15 here once and thought we were going to freeze to death! Anyway, I have not tried them that cold, I suspect they'll work just fine since most electronic things like that are good down to -40. We used to live in Edmonton, AB, it hit -47 (without windchill) once, we decided to move.

I'm not sure what you consider cold weather. I shot some postal banks in 36 degree weather, light wind, probably 70% humidity and the can worked fine.

I have always used a small coolie with it and it has done well in keeping things cold. I think it would depend on the tempature outside also.

Don't know and probably not in cold weather, will check the packaging if I still have it

We live in Florida so I really cannot answer to how well it will stand up in cold weather. Sorry.

We are in Tucson, AZ so we can't answer your question about the cold. It is water resistant.

As far as i know it doesn't matter how cold it gets. Mine worked great in the lower teens.

I live in Southern California where it rarely gets below 35° so I can't say for sure. We have frost at my house on a lot of winter days and it has held up fine.

I've used this indoors and the quality is excellent, especially for the price. There should be no concern of using in cold climate
