Has anyone used it outside in cold weather ?

No, it was used once and it was indoors, the good thing about it, it did not smoke or splash grease all over.

We have had it a couple of years. It sat out through our awful Midwest winters. Haven't seen any problems so far.

I've never had this happen, and I've used it at temperatures below zero. But, I suppose it depends. If you're using it in the Arctic or Antarctic, then it probably would freeze some what. I bet if you're not out too long it would work at temperatures around -10C to -15C for a long time. Colder than that, and it might begin to freeze over a bit. I would check out the manufacturer's specifications and make sure that whatever temperature you plan to use it in is within the spec range.

I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall. The heavier snow took a little bit more care so as not to trip the circuit breaker, but it handled packed and wet slushy snow just fine. This morning I cleared a 150x45 parking area for a local church without any trouble at all. It kept up well with a gas powered snow blower! I had to be careful when attacking the packed clumps of snow along the edge where the county snow plows had been, but this little snow beast didn't skip a beat. One tip - check the blades after a couple of hours of use and make sure to tighten any which are loose. I've used it heavily over the past three days after a 12" and 7" snowfall.

I've used mine on known game trails and areas I've baited. I used it at bait sites to make sure I was getting the type animals at the bait that I wanted. I've used it in rainy weather with no problems but not in weather cold enough to produce ice. My thought is that it would work fine in cold weather as long as you used something to keep snow off the lens.

I have not used it in cold weather yet but it seals up very well and should work fine.I really like the tent and use it for back packing trips.It is light weight and easy to set up.I only use it for me only it would be a little tight for two.At 6-feet tall,I sleep in it at an angle which gives me plenty of leg room.Two tall people would be rather cramped.Regards,Dennis

I have used it on many of hunts in the rain, snow and cold. I would say its weathproof.

We used it for our Christmas decorations outside and had no problems at all. It was a very cold and snowy winter as well.

I have used mine in temperatures as low as 20 below zero (for a string of 5 days) and it functioned flawlessly. The one draw back is the battery life is somewhat reduced by the cold temps. Hope this helps.

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

I have yet to use it in the snow. As I bought it after the season. But I can tell you that it does excellent on damp wet muddy grass.

No. Not really. It's cold here about 6 months out of the year. Never had any issues. I've only changed the batteries twice in about 14 months as well. Gets to maybe -20 on the coldest days. Mine are mounted under my porch without the outside shell however. Maybe different results while using protective case.

I have had my unit for almost a year on an exterior door, but under a covered porch. It is still exposed to wind, snow and rain. I have had no problems and love it. Original batteries still working strong.

Yes. I've had my sensor outside year round, from 90+ to -25. In extreme cold I've noticed a problem that it changes from degrees F to degrees C but other than that the sensor works great.

I've used it through 2 winters and at times it was buried under snow. No problems.
