When taking cold weather pictures remember the following:

1) If you take a room temperature camera out into 0 degree weather those
warm glass surfaces exposed to the cold will fog.  Allow plenty of time
for the glass to reach the temperature that you'll be taking pictures at.

2) The same goes for condensation of the film itself.

3) You'll have the same trouble when taking the cold camera back into warm
environments.

4) Instant film is meant to be developed at room temperature (~70F). If you
use a polaroid for instance outside stick it under your clothes to let it
develop, or if the temperature is not too extreme give it a longer development
time.

5) The mechanics on most cameras will work fine in cold weather.
