Is this fixable ?

I don't think the weather caused that crack. I've left a number of different pieces of gear in my car over nights in below 20 degree weather without any harm ever coming to anything.

I agree - my instruments have seen for more extreme temps, and nothing like that ever happened...

Usually a crack like that - and in that area - is from an impact, or a tuner bushing that's too tight in the hole...

I've got a old epiphone bass that has had a crack just like that for about 13 years. It never got any bigger and still plays and stays in tune just fine. A friend has a odd model of Fender 5 string with about the same thing. 7 years later, he still isn't having issues. If you are worried use the glue trick though.

the longer you leave a crack, the dirtier and more messed-up it gets, and the poorer the results of gluing.

don't wait.
