Effects of cold temps on laptop while imaging?

I inquired with Dell tech today about safe operating air temperature for my laptop. I know some who have used outside for imaging at temperatures down to almost -20 F with no permanent adverse effects to laptop. Dell stated "Regular laptops have been designed to work within a safe temperature range normally 50 to 95 degrees F (10 - 35 degrees C)." What are your experiences with laptops regarding imaging in cold temperatures? I'm looking at approx. 20* F this evening. Also, as far as power I will be using household/110 AC (not batteries). Just don't want to "break" my new laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron 15R. What say you fine folks???

Thanks! Dana T
