Remember that not only does the battery have lower capacity when cold, it also has reduced voltage and current delivery capability. You get shorter, lower power flights, at least initially until the battery warms up (and you still lose capacity even if voltage and current recover).
The only data I was able to find was from one manufacturer, and their chart showed a 3000mAh cell was down to 87% capacity at 0șC. (100% capacity at 20șC)

It's ironic because nitros do best in cold weather.
