What kinds of considerations need to be in place to fly in temps below freezing?
I'm sure there's the possibility of icing if the humidity is right but what others?
I probably won't want to fly if it's actively precipitating (snow or freezing rain)

Anything else to worry about?

I'm thinking of going up to the ski slopes.
 
Keep batteries warm till you insert in drone right before liftoff. Hover a bit after liftoff to ensure that battery juice gets flowing and the drone behaves correctly.
I have flown an Air2S down to around 20F in Alaska with no apparent ill effects, but at relatively low altidues and not in fog/clouds
