Eric,
I was having the same problem with my 20mw laser.
So I added two things, firstly I'm now using Lithium batteries, these handle the cold a lot better than anything else.
Secondly I've placed a heater over the laser end of the tube, this helps keep the area warmer than usual.
So far it works well. Here are a few images of my setup.
