When I was doing building construction inspections in the villages of North Slope Borrough, Alaska (that's north of the Arctic Circle) during winter, I always kept my camera inside my parka to keep it warm until I needed to use it. It's a hassle, I know. But it works. I was even using a manual 35mm film camera with through the lens metering, a Pentax ME Super. Best darn 35mm camera, IMHO. I took a lot of night photography, in moonlight, with just a tripod, but without a flash, with that thing, and the pictures were outstanding.
One time, in the town of North Pole, AK the temperature was -65°F (-54°C) during the day, and being close to the Arctic Circle, there was hardly any light because the sun barely came up over the horizon, but I was still able to take pictures. It was quite a challenge, though. I had to enshroud around the camera with the front of my parka during the timed exposure, to keep the camera temperature well above 45°F (7°C).
