In cold weather, carry the space battery in your shirt pocket as it will keep the battery warm. In cold the battery get down soon so have that cigarette lighter charger for your camera battery type always with you. You can charge your battery in any car.

If I carry spares with me, I try to keep them close to my body (breast pocket, etc) to keep them as warm as possible. Another strategy that helps is keeping the camera as warm as possible inside my winter clothing when I'm not using it. I like the idea of the reusable hand/foot warmers though.

I would assume that the lens element was just as cold as the filter, but it did not shatter as it is probably thicker and less brittle than the filter. So how did having the filter on help in this case? It sounds more like you should *not* use a filter in extreme cold because they are prone to breaking under these conditions!
