After consulting with my veterinarian, she stated, "A bit exposed to winter temperatures can actually cause damage to your horse's soft tissue." This could result in numbness and /or over sensitivity to the touch, both of which can be a potential problem with acceptance of a bit.

It is suggested to prevent damage from a cold bit, warm the bit using methods such as placing the bit under warm water, in one's hand or purchase an electric bit warmer.
