I will need to store my dry-mounted prints in my car in the freezing cold for a few hours, is there any need to be concerned about the adhesive coming loose or anything? They'll be in plastic bags, but no other protection beyond that.

Nope. No worries I should think. The only time I had problems with the prints coming off the mount was in Japan during the humid summers (Kyushu).

Thanks! I figured they'd be fine, but I thought I'd double check.
Should I leave them inside the plastic when I bring them indoors or take them out right away?
Leave them in the bag. You don't want a lot of relatively humid air contacting the prints. I'd also "squeeze" all the air out of them before sealing/closing the bag. I had some mats damaged this summer in my office due to humidity, but they were replacing the ventilation system which took several weeks.

It's a float mount. Inkjet prints with dry-mount tissue on a sheet of matboard which is then dry-mounted to another sheet of matboard with foamcore backing sheet. (gives a nice little drop shadow in good light)
It's -17˚C / 2˚F today, I've got everything in bags\boxes in the car now. Not exactly vacuum sealed or anything, just taped-up garbage bags.
