Mizuno says not below 50F
And recommends using an alloy bat below that. The carbon fiber composite bats can crack and actually shatter in extreme cold. That said, I've not see a modern bat (and by modern I mean last 20 years) that had a "do not use below" temp of 40 or 45.

With temps in 30’s we may need to hold off from using normal bats
