There may be some "buffer" in that manufacturer limit and could possibly tolerate much colder but I don't know for sure. I'll be leaving it at camp from here on. If there is some concern, perhaps you could cover it somehow (original box cover?) and carefully put a small lamp in with it ...maybe 7w candle bulb might suffice. Check your manual for manufacturers recommended storage temps.

I'd be very nervous about leaving any watt running all winter unattended. Just my .02
