I had the same concern when I bought my LCD TV for the camp 2 years ago. I brought it home the first winter but left it at camp last winter. The manufacturer has a storage temp range that goes down to -4 deg F. The temp in the camp never got that cold last winter (-14 outside, -3 inside) since it lags the outside temp drop and never really gets as cold as outside though it "could" go below -4 if the temp stayed that low long enough. There may be some "buffer" in that manufacturer limit and could possibly tolerate much colder but I don't know for sure. I'll be leaving it at camp from here on. If there is some concern, perhaps you could cover it somehow (original box cover?) and carefully put a small lamp in with it ...maybe 7w candle bulb might suffice. Check your manual for manufacturers recommended storage temps.
