Well, the issue is not -32 temps.
It is the periodic freeze/thaw stuff that rips stuff apart. You know, freeze (expand) and thaw (contract). Water goes into a crack. It freezes and expands the crack. Then it thaws to allow more water in the crack. Yadda, yadda.
Get the picture?
I got the picture on my first rig. But not after that. Nonono. I protected my next one.
