There are a number of free standing dehumidifiers which claim to work
below 60F. They have a frost detection system for the coils and shut off
at the first sign of frost. My local hardware store carries several
types.

Unfortunately, like all such add-ons, they want about $40.00 more for
the anti-ice model!
