All the locals I saw riding around me that week were dressed in winter cycling jackets and full length tights! To me, that's apparel for ~30°F weather!

No problems.
If you can repack a wheel bearing, it's pretty easy (and kinda fun, I think) to take off the freehub body and flush it with fresh oil.
