We are living in Germany out side and a good example it was around 20 degrees today with about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground... our solution is that we play dress up... when its time to go outside (we have a yard so we just let her run free for about 5-10 min tops) she puts on a tee-shirt, then her snow jacket, and then her sweat-shirt/hoodie... and she loves it and just runs around the whole time... then also we have a fluffy rug on our door step (which doesnt get snow on it) the for her to warm her paws on or sit on tell its time to come back in incase she getts tired out or cold to soon (but that never happens most of the time she is still running around in circles or eating the snow when I go to let her in... even though she uses the litter box I still think its important for alice to go outside she loves it... if I try and bring her in earlyer than that 5 min... she just runs the other way... she loves the snow and I think she knows she can always warm up later... lol
