Easy. Thick winter coats (mine is rated to -60), a good tuque for your head and ears, a warm pair of long johns under your pants, a good block heater on your car (and remember to plug it in the night before) (an interior car warmer helps too), lined snow boots (again, mine are rated for -60), heavy mitts (mine are black leather w/rabbit fur lining)... then you just start your car, warm it up, and away you go, shopping or wherever.
Utilities here aren't allowed to shut people's heat/power off in winter. But come spring all bets are off. Homeless people tend to get their asses to a shelter in cold months or they freeze solid.
