Take the camera outside in a sealed container, e.g. your camera bag or a plastic bag and give it plenty of time to adjust to ambient temperature before taking it out of the bag. No fogging issues then.
But I never have my lenses fog up when cooling, it is usually the VF from the moisture from your eyes being warm. Most of my winter shooting has been in Az though for the past few years so the air is fairly dry. I imagine that in some of the east with more humidity it would happen. Keep your lenses in an exterior pocket, or better yet wear a photo vest over your coat if possible, so they do not warm up and get moisture from your body. And as Scotty said keep your batteries in your pocket close to your body. When you warm the cold ones their charge will come back up.
I actually like shooting in the winter, and have snow shoes so I can get into the areas of deep snow. The only thing that bothers me now that I have aged is going through icy streams. My feet used to warm up even when they were wet in my younger days, they still do, but it takes forever now. Oh well I guess that is a part of life.

The gear isn't as delicate as some make it out to be and some very simple precautions take care of the few issues that could arise. Keeping warm is the first priority ... it's hard to get a sharp shot when you're trembling.
That is why they made VR/IS.
