Ben,
At what temperature do you start noticing a drop in range? I'm not as concerned obviously as someone in a more northern climate, but we DO get a few days of single digit weather in Oklahoma, and maybe some stretches in the 20's. Given my modest range requirements (~2 miles), should I simply not worry about it? Looking at this on a purely ecological level, the energy I might use to keep my batteries warm might be more than the energy lost from cold weather; what do you think?
