I've seen the title of this post many times. I think it's the motto of one of the world's largest online photographic supply companies, (www.bhphotovideo.com).
But, it's easier said than done when your camera and your fingers are freezing. The weakest part of the camera in extremely cold weather is the battery. You have to have a warm spare battery ready when the one in the camera starts to fade. It's easy to carry the spare in an insulated jacket pocket.
And, these days there are all sorts of gloves you can wear that have flip up ends to let you work the camera's controls with your fingertips. Take the shot and flip the end back down over your fingers.
You can even use hockey stick tape on parts of the camera body and your gloves to keep the camera from slipping from gloved hands.
So, keep calm and carry on, even in winter ...
Photographers always find a way to get a good picture. I'll have to try your suggestion with the gloves. One can always sit in a warm car, jump out, take the picture and hop back in!!
