No, when a leaf is too damaged or old and the plant decides its no longer worth keeping alive it will first cannabilize the leaf's stored energy and nutrients. What do you consider too cold outside? If your plant was suffering from underwatering that is what made them shrivel most likely. I of course cant say 100% w/o a doubt but i can say 99.9999999% thats the cause.

Its hard to argue with a dude that has marijuana expert by his name but im game. Before the plant ever metabolizes the left overs the plant will burn excess energy trying to save that damaged leave. If you cut the leaves as long as its not a god awful amount the plant will burn minimal energy. If you set the cut leaves on the plants soil it will still metabolize the leaves with regular watering of the soil. It may take longer to intake the leaves nutes but like I said, the plant will burn minimal energy healing itself allowing the energy to move on throughout the plant faster.
