Temp has some affect on batteries, but I don't think it's THAT great. I've got a panasonic SLA spec sheet pulled up that indicates you'd lose less than 20% capacity between 30C and 0C. Since as far as I know, all Regionals are held indoors or at least somewhere comfortably above freezing, I don't think you'd be likely to lose even that much capacity.
