That was mine, while shooting a Christmas market back in December.

The last 3 weeks I was shooting in Canada with the guys from avalanche control, under pretty harsh conditions.
Had her up in the mountains and helicopter without doors at freezing temperatures.
Also in heavy snow, rain wind, you name it.
Even almost buried in a load of slush from a snowplough.

Never had a single problem or hickup in 3 weeks.

So I guess it's safe to say the BMC is pretty much weather and cold proof.
