I had a PC running all last winter in a shed down to -14C capturing
video from a wildlife camera.  Along with the Linksys wireless router,
configured as a wifi repeater, it worked perfectly, rather to my
surprise.

I don't think there would be any doubt that operating in a more benign
environment would be more likely to make stuff last longer though.
