I assume when you say "Altitude sensor" you are referring to the IMU? I referred to the Mini's manual and I could not find anything about the IMU. I did find a sentence that said, "Operating temperature of 32 to 104 degrees." I worked part time in the electronics field, I built and tested MIDI's (Music Interface Device), I never came across a piece of electrical equipment that would not work at 32 degrees. Some chips did not work well at high temps. but worked fine at low temps. I am sure there are some components that do not work well in extreme cold, but IMUs are used everywhere now, from expensive fitbits to cars. I Googled operating conditions for IMUs and the only mention of problems was extreme banging and jarring them to radio wave interference, nothing mentioned about cold. I am just curious what would be in their IMUs that do not work in the cold.
