I need to take a measurement of a cabinet that is blocked by the retracted slide. The temps are in the 30s to 40s. Is that too cold to extend and then retract the slides? I don't know if it matters, but they are the hydraulic rack and pinion type of slides, not the Schwintek.
As mentioned, should be no problem.
You could always run your furnace a bit first. (providing you have a heated underbelly)
I am never too concerned about running them out.
It's closing them with snow or ice that I'd have concerns about.
How do you know if you have a heated underbelly or not. The bottom of my Forest River Freedom Express Coachman 248RBS is covered, does that mean it is heated?
No, just having it covered does not mean it is heated. Generally, they are not heated unless there are specific ducts that direct heat down there. I know just our tanks are heated.
I have opened mine, which is hydraulic, in freezing temps. It may be a bit slower, but it opens just fine. Be cautious of any ice that could be on the seals. That might cause the rubber to tear loose.

I opened mine and tore one of the top rubber seals all to #*#@!!!!!!!
Do you ever get a mild day---above freezing???????
