If you are going to make photos in extreme weather conditions, for instance, -20 C (-4 F) and steady wind of 20-25 m/s (~50 mph) prepare like this:
1) Make sure your batteries, in-camera and spare ones are recently and fully charged - the Father Frost is really hungry for power. This will provide your camera the longer time to function.
2) Keep spare battery(s) in the internal pocket of your warm clothes. This is having more time of shooting than if it is in the bag.
3) While no shooting, warm your camera body and keep it out of the wind - cover it by hands or scarf or whatever else, especially the part where the battery resides.
4) As the battery power is getting lower until the shutter is stopped working keep the camera switched off and follow the point 3 above. In fact you will have about 5 seconds after power is switched on to make a shoot or two. And you will have several chances like this.
Keep yourself warm! :)
