Capability/performance in freezing weather. How does it rate?

I haven't run the gun whilst frozen, but I have it on many pieces in the garage and it does get a bit thicker when cold. Not gummy, just thicker. this stuff is amazing, imo

Ewl 30 is rated for -100 dg F . After our snowstorm south of Indy I took my AR DI wetted down with ewl 30, let it sit in -10 dg windchill for 2 hours, side by side with a open container of ewl 30. Then I proceeded to shoot 100 rounds through it with zero malfunctions over a period of an hour. And to that point the ewl in the open container still wasn't frozen. Beyond that I'm not sure

However it did get a lot thicker that when in room temp. I love it. I use it on all of my guns. It makes cleaning on my DI guns easier

What state you live? I am for south jersey and its real cold in winter, so would like to know the performance of this product in cold weather state

I use it for auto racing in the summer months, so I have no experience with it in very cold conditions.

The cold I can speak too, but the snow only to a certain degree... The unit has managed fine in sub zero temps, and due to the completely insane weather in the NE this winter it has managed well during temperature swings of 40+ degrees on a day to day basis.We've only gotten a maximum of about 6 to 8 inches of snow and its handled that fine. The slope of the lid helps a bit as well. Not sure about 2 feet...

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 think you would be OK. I keep mine in the garage and the temperature there is often in the low thirties but doe not freeze. I use to power my snow blower and it works great, never get hard or become difficult to wind up after use. You could probably ask the manufacturer and see what they say.

I don't know about the Northeast but in Central Texas it gets down to the mid to lower 20's and last for an entire day a few times a year. I have two cameras outside mounted on my front porch ceiling well out of the weather but still in the cold and them seem to work pretty well. We had a close lightning strike recently and it blew out the two power supplies, one camera (completely) and the WiFi capabilities on the other. I don't think the cold matters too much.

I had to leave mine in snow and ice and subfreezing temperatures this winter at a remote location. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to check how it did and I won't be able to do it until the end of April. If no one else has a better answer and you're not in a hurry, I'll provide an update at that time.

Slob,I don't know the coldest temp that the camera will sustain, however, I mounted one on my truck, see my previous post, and it has gotten pretty damn cold here in Colorado, sub zero temp with wind chill factor, and the camera is still working as if I had mounted it during the summer. It has withstood rain, ice, snow, sand, and a high pressure car wash. Still going strong. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

I have had no problems with mine. It has made it through an ice storm lasting three days and several rain events. Works perfectly!

I had problems in cold weather (40 deg F) when I ran it on a 15 amp circuit--it would just hum and trip the breaker, and I'd have to cycle it on and off quickly before I finally got it to run. I ran it the same day on a 20 amp circuit and it worked just fine.

I have mine working fine at 5F, here in the Pacific Northwest doesn't get as cold as the Midwest.

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

My shop is in my unseated garage. It doesn't get below 40* The humidity is lower when it's cold so the unit runs a lot less than in the spring and summer, but it functions fine. Of course, if you mean below freezing when you say low temperatures, it wouldn't work, it would ice up.

We had a mild winter here in NW Wisconsin, but my camera worked fine. We were down to 0 degrees with no problems and the same batteries were in it all winter.

I have used it below 50 and it was fine - below 30 would be freezing - so no for that

I'm not sure..they worked fine above freezing but the colder it got the worse they got.
