This stuff gets shipped when new in TT trucks, box cars etc.
All are unheated & 10 F isnt that cold.
Where you run into problems is if you bring a set from 10 deg & very
low humditity into a nice warm place that isnt dry. Then you get
condensation on it, like a cold beer on a 90 deg day sweats.
That can cause problem. Best to let it sit a day & adjust to conditions.
This is why VCR's had dew sensors. They wont run if they detect to
much condensation. If they ran the tape can stick to the heads,
tape path, clutches, etc & cause failures. When we sold anything in
very cold WX we always told them to let them sit 8 hrs before using.
I bet no Big Box stores did that !
