Previous tips are ok but I do not recommend to keep your camera inside your coat.
The camera will be affected by damp of your body. Keep the camera at the outside temperature and spare batteries in a hot place, near your body. Once the battery in the camera is affected by the cold temperature, swap it by a warm one.
When you will go back inside a house or a car, place your camera in your closed camera bag before entering in the damped and warm place and wait few hours until the camera return to a normal temperature.
Using this method, your camera will never be damped and we all know that it is the ennemy of any electronic.
Using overmitts is a good tip, this is what I do and I also wear mechanic gloves. They are small, they have anti-skid patches on the fingers so I can keep them when I have to change the settings of my camera.
