yeah don't clean your bike w a little water when you get home even if it's above freezing if you're gonna leave your bike outside overnight and not check your shifting before you take off in the morning. ugh. tough lesson that morning!
If you're going to clean a bike in low temps, i would use maybe 91% alcohol vs water. Sure, there's water in that too, but you can also light the alcohol on fire if needed.
