Electronics in cold ambient temperatures

Aviation electronics are specified to -55C, non-condensing atmosphere.
In the case of a hull breach and sudden drop in temperature, the humidity in the atmosphere will be condensing and could coat internal electronic components with ice / water.
Under this unusual condition, how well would the avionics work?
