I heard it’s not safe to smoke a meerschaum outside when cold because the heat can crack the bowl? I have my first and from the looks of it, it’s ok. What’s the truth?
This article on Meerschaum pipes from the Pipe and Tobacco Information Service (September 1974) doesn't say anything about smoking outdoors vs. indoors but has some useful info on care of same

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chili and baked potato dinner with a slice of double chocolate cake for dessert on this off-diet day. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

…with a bowl of Verge Engine Santa Drive in the Brigham Mountaineer straight apple. I don’t see many people talking about this blend… hmmm… somewhere someone on the forum is gigging “he fell for it.” ? Why yes, yes I did. But, I quite enjoy it. Fool me some more please. And the heresy in such a cheap pipe… ? why, is that a compass up there or a cheap Czech tool? Santa gives those to all his helper elves. ?
