Comets range from ~-220C way out it in the Kuiper belt (https://sciencing.com/temperature-comet-22136.html https://sciencing.com/temperature-comet-22136.html) to farking hot if the come in close to the sun which is a lot more extreme than the balmy -93C record low recorded in the Antarctic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_temperature_recorded_on...). The extreme heat would obviously effect their survival chances but I'm not sure on the cold, I wouldn't be surprised if some interesting chemical things happened when cooling to those temperatures.
