I got the tube out of the studded tire, patched it, put the tire back on and continued with my tasks for the day. For all I know that tube may still be functioning on the bike without any repatching. State of mind often matters more than actual circumstances - here I wait to be admonished.
My point is that in really cold weather you do NOT want a tire/rim combination that's really too tight to remove the tire very easily. Plus in that cold weather plastic or similar tire levers can break a lot easier.

When I said that he video showed a guy changing a tube in a non-studded tire in warm weather I was referring to the fact that it did NOT show a studded tire being changed in cold weather. I ride in cold enough temperatures that you do not want to be working on anything with bare hands. YMMV
