I don't know where some of the other so called experience stated
here comes from, but you'll find that, starting at about 40
degrees, the vinyl starts becoming more brittle than is good for
it. It cuts hard, cracks easily and is harder to handle without
damage.
Some of the more expensive brands are easier to handle in the
cold, but it's iffy.

It could probably be done if you did the cutting indoors and only
hung it outside and were careful nailing it. But I'd try to wait
for spring if I could - it can gt pretty frustrating about the
third time you notice you cracked it pushing the joints together.
