However, if you get a cold snap and the temperature at LL is -10, then the minimum safe altitudes have to be increased by the cold weather corrections.
The problem is that in order to get the proper correction rather than a crude estimate of it, you need to know the temperature of the entire column of air between the reference station and the aircraft. Thus you'll still be in danger of falling foul of the minimum altitude rule.
