Hmm... My old Kindle Keyboard worked in virtually any weather. Whether it was happy to do so is a different issue entirely, but it worked. Icarus gives up after a minute - after that it stops refreshing the screen entirely, and it ends up as a confusing blobby mess, at least until it warms up again.
