It's below 25deg F here this morning and yesterday morning and my T2X won't turn. When it warms up, it turns okay. It's getting old and stiff like me and doesn't like cold weather! Rod

I don't know about the thermal limits - but it might be that you can 
command it to turn (recognizing it's stuck) and the stalled motor or 
stuck brake will get warm, and soften the grease/melt the ice.
