The Cold Hazard makes little sense and that's the reason...

does not mean their point is invalid.

Bingo.

Ever drive up the Alaskan coastal highway in November? I must have passed several rigs where their driveshaft (yes, the driveshaft) was disconnected because the bolts had sheared off. Extreme cold will ground any vehicle and forget about rubber tires. They'll peel right off if they're not new and not put in a warmer environment. 

I'm no genius when it comes to extreme cold and heat, but seeing the temperature Ryder goes through while having much superior technology compared to ours today, as well as Ryder being the pathfinder (you'd expect an explorer of a pathfinders caliber to have the best gear possible), you'd expect it to not be an issue at the temperatures the game shows. There are people that live their life in areas that are as cold as voeld was in the game. I've no idea how cold things can get, but I think a few thousand degrees colder (if that's even a thing) would've played this out better if you're wanting equipment to be effected by weather conditions as currently Andromeda uses temperatures that even we can live off of.

Edit: Coldest temp in space recorded to date is -292 Celsius by the way.

Yup, I brought that up in my Environmental Hazards thread.  But for a planet with atmosphere, -80 C would have been a lot more realistic.   I mean, you'd think they would at least google "coldest temperature where people live" and add a bit to that.

You're no genius, but you're f***ing smart! That is correct!

And maybe you are, and you're just being humble. Either way, you're right. Technology had to improve to tackle this because colonization is the goal.

That part of the NW, it's common to see weird gadgets that come out of the grill or under the hood to help start the car. You can say that we live south, move north for a job and adjust. In the meanwhile, gas is super cheap. .74 cents a gallon when I was through there in 2002.

That's what the life support system is.

I was thinking the same thing, the cold hazard doesn't make sense. It wouldn't bother me much if it followed the pattern of the rest of the world's you "fix" the hazard on. The radiation goes down, the sulfer in the water appears to stop, the heat drops, but there is no change if you start the vault on Voeld. Makes me wonder what the point is in doing that vault.

Being climatized to the certain kind of weather is certainly a thing. Hell, even people who share their location may have different preferences about what 'comfortable temperature' is (e.g. my husband always wears a hat, while I can live without one down to -10C (and even then I prefer hoods).  However, 'being uncomfortable' does not mean 'being in grave danger'.  That's if the person is dressed according to the weather around them. Of course, if you come to my place wearing your favourite 'winter' jacket - you're in trouble. However, the well-trained person (and we assume that the Ryders are, not even speaking about the N7 Shep) should not have much trouble. Unless their equipment is that crappy and worthless. 

Freezing on Noveria at -1 makes no sense, no matter the snowstorm. I assume a lack of the omnipresent voiced reminder was what had saved it from lore-nerds' attention. Ignorance is bliss, I wish I could 'unread'  it back, because now I'll have to think about it each time replaying ME1. 

Is the education really that bad these days? Its called freezing POINT because it is a point on the temp-scale, not a range. And like others said, Mr. Celsius used the exact points for water freezing and boiling at see level as references for his scale. For convenience, because we are mostly water and deal everyday with it.
And for the environmental hazard in the game: Its absolutely ridiculous. ME-armors are sealed, space worthy suits with closed live-support, energy shielding, servos to assist movement and in ME:A a fusion powered rocket on the back. The biggest problem would be to get rid of the heat generated by the wearer and the numerous support systems. Look up the specs for real spacesuits. They are limited by the capacity of the thermal storage system where they dump the excess heat. If they are fully exhausted, the wearer would be cooked inside by his own heat.
Ok, they have to work without a external medium which will cary at least some heat away. But for freezing in a space suit the external atmosphere must be extremely dense or having the thermal transport capacity of a fluid.

Was supposed to be 272, not 292. Regardless I'm not really into this argument on the cold, but more so I know the game could've done better using weather conditions to effect the equipment we use in game.
