Mine gets very cold in my shop but it hasn't frozen. The simple solution would be to just try it on a leather scrap and see if it works .........

I don't think freezing will hurt it, though you may have to mix it up afterwards. Mine stays in the garage and though admittedly it rarely gets super cold here in SE Texas, it does get below freezing on occasion and I've never noticed a problem.
