I don't know how cold is too cold to do what, but this winter has been a very gentle one not withstanding the snow last week and this current (which is supposed to be brief) cold snap. The average high in December was something like 7 degrees, which is significantly above normal. Looking at the long range forecast, we're probably going to see at least a couple of days above freezing between now and the end of January.
I'm not saying that the snow dome was a bad idea, especially since no one can reliably predict the weather two months out. But I don't think they'll get "lucky" with the type of bitterly cold February that would obviously justify it to the lay observer.
