The OP is coming out of the shakey side. I'd expect he'd be taking a tank of butane... And, guessing he would take the southern (I-10) route out of San Diego.
But, you are right about propane.
If it gets to - 44F anywhere near the Red River....I'm leaving! ??

The LP consumers in order of highest use: generator, furnace, water heater, fridge, range. Minimal use of the genny and furnace extends your fuel supply.
Also, you should know the these are LP vapor devices. LP does not vaporize well below 30ish F. And, if you are going to be in freezing temps you should have your LP man shoot some alcohol into the tank to remove any water from the fuel.
It appears you are referencing butane, possibly sold in your climate, as it vaporizes at temps of about 30 degrees F. Up north, propane is sold which vaporizes at about 44 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Therefore even with cooling caused by vaporization when being used a full propane lpg bottle will function well at temps well below zero.
