Cameras and Cold

lifesdisciple

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this so if not you have my apologies.
I have a question about cameras and the cold weather. I take my camera and all my lenses packaged up in my Tamrac backpack everwhere I go. I normally leave it in the car when I am on the job. Car is always in my view and locked. My concern is the cold. Should I leave it in the car in the cold even if it is in the backpack? On real cold days I bring it inside if I can, but I am a contractor who remodels homes. There isn't always a safe place to put it inside. Curious as to what others may do or if the cold is really bad for my equipment. Thanks for your time.
