There shouldn't be a problem if there is no moisture on the work. If there is the slightest amount frozen in, your paint will come off in a few months if not sooner. Why on earth are you in such an hurry?

Certainly not a good idea....
I assume the items you intend painting are wood, which will likely be at their highest moisture level at this time of year as well as. I usually leave outdoor painting to the cooler but dry days of the late summer.
