Maybe, maybe not. I don't know what the atmospheric density is on the surface, but with temps that low it could be very high. If the atmospheric density is higher than Earths, heavy scouring could take place with a much smaller amount of wind than you would expect on Earth.

The atmospheric pressure near the surface is about 1.6 bars, That is about 60% more than earth. Even mild winds in any pressure will cause scouring if the winds persist for 3 billion years.
The temperature is fairly high normal satellite terms. It gets more heat from the radiation coming from Saturn than it does the Sun.
