I discovered my 4 year old
hand-me-down iPod doesn't like -3 degree weather. I left it in the car overnight and now the songs are all gone. I'm not looking forward to restoring it all. x(

1. Modern electronics also do not like extreme heat.
I left a cell phone in my car for a few hours in the August heat. The LCD display melted internally. The screen was all black. x(

Sorry about your ipod though! Is it still working alright, but the songs are gone? That's really weird...

10. I was about to connect it to my computer

I hope you'll find some great new songs to have there...

7. I don't think -3 for electronics is fragile
I foolishly left it in extreme conditions. I need a checklist before I put the car away for the night!
