I don't think -10°C winter weather is something that really worth R&D of weather weapons.
If such weather is a threat to some infrastructure, that just mean that somebody stole a lot of money building that infrastructure. If infrastructure designed to withstand any freezing temperatures below 0°C, even -1°C, then it is just a matter of very little effort to make it withstand -50°C. Just use good quality thermal insulation and some common sense. If you saving money on that, it is a misdeed. If infrastructure was not designed for below 0°C at all, it is a obvious crime. In any case it is a theft.
There is no much difference between -1°C and -10 or even -30°C from the infrastructure point of view. If infrastructure was built correctly, then it is just a question of little more energy to compensate losses, nothing more.
Of course, for me -10°C is a regular very mild winter weather, but I suppose temperatures below water freezing point (0°C) is not something outstanding in most of US.
So, it is infrastructure quality question, not weather one.
If it is a weather weapon, maybe there is a secondary reason for it. Like keeping people from traveling during this time or something.
Convenient blackouts.

Good point, Russians know cold weather.

Or, may be, it is another fake reason for another shit they want to roll out.
