Electrical Tape and the Elements

Searched and scoured for a discussion on Electrical tape in extreme conditions and could have sworn I read a discussion on this but the queries have turned up nothing.

Something I had not thought about before and experienced firsthand this past winter was the effectiveness and flexibility of electrical tape in cold weather conditions. Pulled my handy Electrical tape out that i keep on my 2nd line at all times and it was not flexible or sticky at all.

Conditions: Temperature was in the 20-30degree farenheit range

I hit google and found Patco 85 PVC tape that claims servicibility in -40 to 221 degrees Farenheit. Anyone have experience with this product or reccomendations on brand of Electrical tape that will function in the cold?
