Being cold should not be a firmware crash / reboot

Per the title really - my CoreONE lives in a shed and it gets cold, which means this evening I tried to start a print and rather than warn me about it the printer just reboots and then sits there with the Red Screen Of Doom beeping until someone comes to calm it down.

I understand using "out of bounds" values to detect sensor failure but this is a tad aggressive, and a full-on reboot means it drops off the network and I can't then diagnose the issue from my nice warm office.

A slightly less dramatic reaction - a warning, a refusal to print until the "fault" is cleared / the unit warmed up - would be perfectly acceptable. As it is I just ran the heatbed at 25C for a few minutes to bring the unit up to a more acceptable level and it's now happily printing.

Generally Prusa Printers refuse to start when the ambient temperature is so low that the print is likely to warp.

Cheerio,
