CO2 is unfit for winter use up north as it will condensate at near atmospheric pressure when it gets really cold.
R-404a condensates at room temperature at pressures higher than tire pressure, but not that far off. I don't know the exact condensation point for that but suspect it lies at an even higher temperature than CO2.
It would be interesting to know what happens when you fill a balloon or such with your mixture and put it in the fridge.

See post 32, I already tested it down to 5'F.
That is about as cold as it normally gets here in new mexico.
