Yes, you find it very well summarised here: https://forum.dji.com/thread-120497-1-1.html
And keep your batteries warm (close to your body) before use.

Just remember to have some kind of landing pad to avoid the Spark to get wet if there is snow on the ground

If you're new to flying I'd be careful!

Snowbank landings should be filmed for comedic effect.

DJI says that spark is rated to fly in temps down to 0C, so technically it should not be flown in freezing temps, but the main concern is the battery temp.  Li-Po batteries lose a lot of their efficiency when cold, and the amount of power out of them is reduced.  This can cause the battery to drop faster than expected, and get you into a sticky situation if you fly out a long distance.

Hey there, the recommended temperature is above 0℃ and I'd suggest to fly in the noon. Make sure the battery has been warmed up to the working temperature and do a fully checklist before take-off.
