how does this plastic horn hold up during cold Minnesota winters? like in January, -20 to -30 below zero! I've read where it will quit working during cold weather!

many air compressors do not work well under extreme cold conditions. if there is any oil you know what happens. The Plastic holds up great and doesn't seem to care about the cold but I didn't get quite that cold last year. -10 for a bit but not that long. As long as you have a good power connection this horn should work create. I do not think there is much on the way of oil like in many air compressors to worry about. If you are mounting it on a snowmobile or motorcycle the engine heat will help with any cold weather issues I would believe.

I've had the horn attached to the air supply for a couple of years now (I think about 2 1/2 years) and it still works really good. It's gotten slightly weaker, but still packs a punch.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

I used it for outside door bell ringer and its held it in place through cold and heat but I live in CA so the coldest it's been is maybe 30 degrees and warmest 100 degrees. I know it can get much warmer in car, especially during summer but I think it would hold a light piece.

I backed into the mailbox last winter it was about 10 degrees out and it shattered the thin plastic next to the post that was the problem I had. Don't know if it would hold up to the bashers in real cold weather or not.

I live in southern California and haven't been in much cold weather. I have it mounted all the time and have had no problems with the suction coming loose. I took it apart after a month, just to clean the area, and the product works and stays put just fine.

I have had two of these feeders out on my property for the last two months and it has been a lot colder than 38 degrees. I have not had any issues with these feeders not working. I would check the battery connections.

I haven't spent a winter with mine. But my husband doesn't think it will freeze because of the small surface of contact within the metal parts. I live in a very cold area during winter too. We feel they should work year round.

This is my second winter using it and I love the thing. As far as I'm concerned it was worth the price. I haven't had any issues with mine.

Tom I live in central upstate NY also and u don't have any more snow and ice than we do here. If it breaks you'll have hood damage to I would think. It is very well constructed and I would never worry about it breaking.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

I have gone through three of them. They appear to have an issue with them. Mine lasted one month to nine months? Less than a year. Means they were bad from manufactures build date. Contact Velocity. They may be able to assist you. I smashed my third one three days ago. Made a funny humming noise and wouldn't shut off. All were famous for always freezing up sometimes for days up to weeks before it unfreeze. Good luck! We were sold defective items I suspect. By the manufacture.

Thank God I live in a place where I can't answer that. But as an electrician I really can't imagine that the cold would affect it. It does seem to work well so far, and my only complaint is that is it very loud. I mean really loud. Good luck. David

I would think it freeze in cold weather as it is plastic. mine is in the garage.

I have left mine out many years and it worked fine. Sometimes it would get covered with snow. It rarely gets into the teens here in Norfolk Va. But it does go below freezing a lot.

We take it down every year as it us plastic and the cold weather might crack it. We live in Illinois. So winter is rough here

We've had ours for a year now. We love it. Our truck is also outside in Minnesota 24/7! Very durable so far! :)
