Dress in layers.
Start with something light and absorbent, to wick the sweat away from your skin, then gradually work the layers out to the heavier insulating clothing, and finish off with a waterproof/windproof layer. Don't forget to cover your hands, ears and face if it is very cold, or you will be exposed for long periods of time. The wind will also be a factor, whether it is windy, or you are on an ATC or the like.
This way, if you become too warm, you can remove an outer layer to cool off, and replace it when needed.
Also drink plenty of fluids, you will loose moisture from your body while working in the cold, and this can lead to dehydration and fatigue.

Do not go outside if you do not have too. The horses tank was 2 inches of ice yesterday. Need to think of the critters too :0)
We make sure the trucks are ran so they do not freeze up. Bandannas or scarfs for the face, warm clothing! We do not mind the cold it is the rain and wet snow that is the killer. Bundle up. Make sure all the pipes are insulated in/under the house. Also if you have livestock these pipes are insulated. Keeping a light on in those colder rooms will make it so the room does not freeze.
On the news someone here in Oregon ran there generator in there garage and poisoned the family, use common sense.
Good luck keep warm!

Multiple layers of clean dry clothes, never breath inside your jacket. Mittens not gloves, a good hat that keeps your ears warm and good thermal boots. Moisture in clothing is your enemy. Make sure you eat well with high energy foods and are hydrated before you go out. Make sure you understand what wind chill is all about and how it can affect exposed skin. A naked person can remain outside with mild discomport at -40 in calm air, but wind chill will make it intolerabel and bring on frost bite in less than ten minutes.

Burrow into the Snow. You'll be protected from the wind, and snow is a very good insulator, so you'd be able to survive.
