The rbs20 is selling for >$100 on ebay right now. Might be a little harm if it goes bad right away. With that said, I've had an AP in my garage (minnesota) for around that 2 years as well without issues. I do routinely blow it off. I should be using an air canister but its my air compressor I'm using (I know, its horrible) and its still kicking. I've had it shut off when it was -20 degrees but that was the only time and it kicked right back on after a reboot and a little warmer temp.
