I've run gear below freezing and as long as there was no condensation

went well. Condensation is bad so if you bring gear in thats cold allow

and not collect moisture. The spec for most DEC gear explicitly says no
condensation.
Pretty much everything from anywhere says that; with the possible exception of military
grade electronics.
An extreme example is seen in CDC mainframes, which are cooled by cold bars in the chassis
through which refrigerant runs. Those require tightly controlled humidity, because the
chassis is colder than room temperature.
