Happy to report that the DJI Spark does wonderful in low temps. It was -10 but felt much colder yesterday here in Minnesota and besides a few minutes less of flight time, it flew with no problems what so ever. I even set a new personal record for my furtherst distance from starting point. Over 5000 feet, but not quite a mile. It was a good day. Here's some video.

Hey Bing. I’m also in MN (st cloud area). I went up on Christmas Eve at +10 degrees. I kept it close and only stayed up for 10 minuets. No problems at all with the drone. My issue was using my hands with gloves. You gave me a little more confidence flying cold.

You're right. I have many problems using gloves with the controls. It's a problem. I'm working on a muff that wraps around your hands but extends the phone/monitor out of the muff so you can see it. I'll post another vid if I can get it working.
 
Here's the screen shot.
