I too can report the hub feels and acts no differently in -15°c weather compare to 40°c. The shifter is a different story as in colder weather it gets a bit harder to shift, and harder still at a stop, but it is still usable. I have more problems with brakes in the winter than the drivetrain anyway. I can put up with take offs being a bit slower, I don't like longer stops.
