happens to most cameras unless the are "freeze-proof' or made 4 rugged use. If a camera comes out of a warm car/room  into real cold temps the moisture inside can freeeze on something inside or lubricants can stiffen up. Some cameras have optimum temperatures and they won't work in the cold... and batteries run only half as long as in the warm. So keep and extra charged battery to finish the shoot. Buy some hand-warmers / footwarmers to keep the camera warm or stick them in your arm pits when not in use to keep them warm or get like a camping cooler and use one of those big back heating pads for the gear.
