Cold batteries do struggle a bit to deliver power and charge when they're cold, but they're just fine being stored in low temperatures. LFPs are really good at maintaining their charge. Even below -5°C, they should be fine, particularly if they're not being used.

Also, I wouldn't worry about the BMS too much. Unless it's really dumb, when there's no charging or discharging happening it will put itself to sleep for most of that time. Technically it will use power, but likely only a few hundred micro watts to a few milliwatts (nothing that will make a difference on a 5 kWh+ battery). Then when the sunlight comes back in the spring (or whenever the snow melts off the solar panels), it'll see some input voltage and start feeding the battery again.
