Guess that´s a battery problem, not an OM problem. Batteries wont work in
the cold. Bad for every battery dependend camera.
How about not leting the camera cool down? Someone has sugested to me to
use little hand warming ovens attached to the camera.
I would try to put the camera under my jacket.
Beside of the batteries, don´t you had problems with the film, iced
okulars or with freezing the skin to metal?
