How does the cold affect 18650 cells?

How does colder temps affect the life cycle of these high capacity cells? I realize that there must be a bunch of variables at play, but boil it down so that a numbskull like me can understand. If one normally can go 2 hours before charging in warmer temps, will the cooler temps degrade that time by 15-30 minutes? Or are lithiums more tolerant of temp changes than some other chemistries?
