No. The liquid in the thermometer would just retract down into the bulb further and you wouldn't be able to get a reading, unless of course the thermometer was able to read below -10 degrees celcius.

if it has a scale that goes below that temperatute why should it break? Quicksilver (mercury) will freece at about -39degrees celsius (if I recall correctly)and mercury thermometer will not work below that.
Nevertheless -10 degress celsius is not that low a temperature - every cheap outside thermometer can read those values.
If it is an electronic thermometer check the manual about the temperature range.
