Getting the motivation to get out into the winter cold to take photos?

I don't do cold.
I see there is another sane person on this site other than me.....
I do all the eskimo stuff, but every time I go out, my hands or feet get cold and the shoot is over. I have spent half of a national debt on gloves, electric socks, hand warmers, toastie toes, etc, nothing keeps me warm. The key is the wind, if its -20 I can go out and stay reasonable alive, however if the wind is blowing, me and mister Smirnoff remain INSIDE.....
Why so serious?

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
