If I want ice cream, then I want ice cream. No other considerations matter.

Alright then. But at 0 °F it is not going to melt without your intervention, no matter how sunny it is.

Absolutely, I don’t disagree with that.
I was just sharing my anecdote as a counterpoint to your minor rhetorical point at the end, because at least to me, it’s funny since eating ice cream outside at -10 degrees is a ridiculous thing to do.
Though, I will note that while ice cream won’t melt at those temperatures, at atmospheric pressure it will still sublimate. So, in that way you could still lose your ice cream without intervention, it would just take a while.
