Travis,
I'm wondering if the failure is not due to the LED itself but the associated circuitry. I have modified garden lights I use to keep Deer away from the garden. They blink in a random sequence to give the appearance of predator's eyes. Anyway I've seen the lights blinking away in 10 below F with no problems. In fact they have been sitting there for years just under the power of the sun to recharge the AA battery.
Also LED's have much better cold tolerance than CFL's.
