Cold Weather Aerobatics

With the winter approaching in Europe I wonder what precautions other aerobatic pilots normally take when it comes to cold weather.

Where I live it typically is about -10 to +5° C (at ground level) in winter time. No limitations is given in my POH but I remember since I used to do aeros in gliders that a few of them (composite a/c) had load restrictions below certain temperatures due to the decreased structural stress tolerance in low temperatures.

How do you anticipate for this? No aerobatics at all or only low g manoeuvres? Any typical temperature you wouldn't fly aeros below, etc.
