It gets a little too cold here to drive in the winter with the roof down (how does -40 sound? add the windchill & it's -50C).
In the UK I used to drive my MG Midget to work every day with the roof down, year round. I remember being sat in traffic in York with fresh snow coming down, roof down of course, & a bus load of Japanese tourists taking pictures of the "mad Englishman".

RE: Coldest temp with the top down?
I've had a couple convertibles that weren't, really: no top. Not too bad here near the coast, ocean keeps the temp pretty stable. Each of those no-top cars was my only driver, and I lived in Arkansas and San Bernardino, California. Neither had a heater. I dressed flight-crew style for longer runs, just warm and tolerated it down to four or five below freezing for twenty-minute or less commutes. Foolish youth, true, but I never lost a finger or nose to frostbite.
I haven't had occasion to drive this '06 top-down at anything under about 55 degrees F. That wasn't too bad, even at highway speeds.
