Annoyingly enough I had a 2nd stage reg freeze up in the boot of my car last weekend (air temp over here are sitting at about -8 Celsius). I put it on the tank and switched it on and it just constantly free flowed. I chucked the kit in the sea for 5 minutes and it all thawed out (Sea temperatures are sitting at between 2 and 8 Celsius so warm enough to get the ice to melt off).
Its something I had never really considered, the guy I was diving with suggested that in future I transport my regs on the floor of my car as he had so they are kept above freezing. So its something to think about when diving in very cold weather, dry your regs after you use them and try not to transport or store them in sub-zero temperatures!
