it's supposed to get down to like 20 degrees tonight, i have it in first with the parking brake on, can the parking brake get stuck? im on probably about a 3 degree slope, will leaving it in first be enough? i heard it can get knocked into neutral

Temperature only affects mechanical parts if they are or will get wet...so if your brake parts are dry and it's not going to or hasn't snowed, iced or rained, you should be OK. If you're parking parallel to a curb, turn the front wheels sharp to the curb and allow the car tire to rest against it. That way you don't have to use the parking brake if you are concerned.
Hope this helps...

Should be ok, the way they get froze up is after the brakes get wet and a freeze comes. I wouldn't worry too much about them freezing, if they did by chance they usually will brake free after you try to move.

when you hear the term frozen up, it means seized up or rusted up from not using it. and nothing to do with cold tempeture freeze up as like a frozen pipe.

put your break on turn your wheels to the curb. if you want you can block your tires with blocks of wood.
