I live in Spokane, WA, and it gets cold here (5 - 10 below zero). My pup was only a few months old last winter, and he love to go outside. He has never cared what the weather is.
But - if it's cold, I put a jacket on him, and we don't stay out very long....5 minutes or so. But - he's not the one that wants to come in - it's me!
If it is ridiculously cold - wrap him in a blanket - let him down to pee, etc., and then carry him around for a while. He'll still enjoy being outside for a little while a couple times a day.
Both my dogs love to run and play in the snow.
