I am not familiar with iPhone batteries but most batteries will recover to a good degree after warming again. In your case it sounds like the cold may have weakened the battery power to the extent that the low level caused the electronics to not work properly and the device, uh, crashed. Let it warm up again and see if you can reset it.
