Your bike can probably take the sub-zero temperatures better than you can.
Until I moved to California in 1980 from Pennsylvania, I rode my bikes in
all sorts of horrid cold frozen weather. My wife tended to leave her bike
in the (unheated) garage until spring. The salt that they put on the roads
out there destroys bikes the same way it destroys cars, but the cold doesn't 
hurt it at all.
