just come back from Hokkaido
Worst stormy snow for the last 35 years
My camera could really stand snow and low temp

and it is not as fragile as we thought.
Extra tips inlcude
1. buy as many back up cameras as you can
2. keep warming your camear once you finish you shooting
3. keep a large "microfibre" towel for cleaning your camera's body as well as the lens
4. buy a special pair of gloves so that you can keep your hands warm at the same time you can fire your gun
