I wonder how wide tolerances there are -- what are the chances mine
can't handle -25C?  The 41 was also speced at -20C and up; my vintage
41C lost its memory after five minutes at -25C, but my 41CX could
stand half an hour in -30C with no visible ill effects; whether that's
individual variation or improvement in technology over time I don't know.

Oh well, I guess I can only wait for winter ...
