Yep.  During the wedding I attended on the top of Whistler Mountain in August 
of this year, the wedding party was virtually blanketed by "Scotch mist," 
basically what the inside of a cloud looks like.  It was probably +10 Celsius 
(about 50 Fahrenheit).  OM-4 locked up *real* good -- I switched batteries to a 
new set (which unlocked it) and kept going.
