Not too cold. I have been above the arctic circle in Finland at night when it was at least -20C (-4F) and I did time exposures with my Canon EOS-100 (film DSLR) to capture the Northern Lights. I left the camera propped up on the ice!

But when I wasn't taking pictures I kept the camera under my thermal layers to get somebody warmth, so no problem.

The main problem with the cold is that batteries can be a lot less efficient, so it's a good idea to keep those warm, maybe carrying a warm spare to swap if necessary.
