Haven't ever considered quitting because its cold. So far my buddy and me have camped out in -29 degrees. All I can say is that kind of cold finds any minor fault in your gear. :-)

A bunch of Hammock Forums members were hanging in Finland, MN last weekend at minus-15. The same group set a record at minus-30 a few years back.

Daytime highs below 20F. It’s just not fun anymore when things begin to feel like a burden.
Also the nights are way too long at this latitude between Dec 1st and Feb 15th.

We camped at 39 below our first time, made it out with all toes and fingers so we aren't too scared away by the temps anymore! :)

Ten years ago it didn't matter (we had great trips in the actual night temps -40 to -50). 4 kids later and a bones/joints a wearing I'd stay put with anything crazy like last weekend. Blizzard winds are fun to watch next to the fireplace :)

Only postponed a winter trip once--when the forecast lows were in the -40s.

^40's with a chance of precipitation.

Anything warmer than mid 30's and everything starts to get wet, and that is a bad thing. Day time temps in the mid 20's or colder is great, last year we had -26 our first night (but we had a hot tent)This year we will most likely sleep in our hammocks.
I guess at -40 with the kids and I would have to think about it.
Being prepared is the biggest part of the trip. -staying active is the key to warmth.

Not so much the temp, but more so if there is a chance of rain or melting. Then I would reconsider a trip.
