Hello :) Melinda
I was doing a search and I found that parrots gradually introduced to freezing temperatures can tolerate them. In your situation I'm not fully sure about.
Have you tried to contact your local sheltor? Maybe they can do a search for the bird as well. And PLEASE if you have not ran and posted lost flyers with a picture(s), you need to do so.
I asked Google many questions about Concures being in the cold weather and that was the only information I found.
I'm sorry hun and I do hope you find your bird...
Best wishes and luck on finding your friend...
:)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...Where do you live and how cold is very cold? If it is 40, she may survive a couple hours. If it is 30 below with windchill as it is here (WI) then a half hour or so tops. If she finds a warm place to hide- she may be all right.
I am assuming that she is an indoor bird and has a normal indoor feathering. Birds that have thicker feathers and are used to the outdoors would be fine.
Try putting her cage outside and sit outside. Sometimes they will fly down if they see something familiar.
Good luck. If you get her back definately clip her wings so this can't happen again.

Depends. How cold is it around your place and are there any hollow holes in any of the trees (kind of high up) that it might be able to nest inside of? In San Francisco (gets down only to maybe 35F degrees in winter) we have a whole flock of conures, the original pair were escapees from someone's home and they've breed and other conures have escaped and joined them so the flock is quite large and noisy. They find holes in the palm trees around some of the parks, dig the holes deeper to suit them, and nest in them, lay eggs during their season, raise young, etc. They seem to be doing just fine since the flock keeps increasing (even though some do get sick). But if it gets below freezing around your place, and if your girl didn't find sufficient shelter, she probably won't last very long since there isn't any food or water available either.

Put your cage outside and go for an all day bike ride and ck tree tops and keep calling her. also take along some of her favorite treats and if you spot her, coax her down with her favorite foods.
My parrot got out last Dec for 4 days and we recovered her but we never gave up. I did not go to work - I rode a bike daily from 6:00 am til nite looking for him. When we recovered him, we immediately gave him warmth and replenished him with electrolytes. good luck - cannot give up!!!!

Oh boy...all I know is that if she has a good coat of feathers and is still in your yard, she'll live. I am just going on what I would think of if that happened to my bird.
